self explanitory,

Identity, were you come from were, you dont come from events, places, objects, people mould your own identity aswel as a villages ,a towns or a nations identity.

I began to think about  "HOME"and my own experiences of the place, the experiences of childhood and  being bitter about people being bitter, oblivious to the fact a little 6 year old english accent could offend other little 6 year olds with little Irish accents, little did i no the history of the ole village.

This can be a good thing or a bad thing.

Everyone sadly is bitter about something, we are all but a nation of lemons.

As my collographs prove difficult to accomplish I added a screen print over them sadly the turned out dirty looking.

Defining Space

Language as well as material objects define my space on a day to day basis so i have decided to explore both of these ideas,I have narrowed it down to my teddy bears and the accents that i regularly encounter, that being Tipperary and Limerick accents, I wanted to merge the two togeher.
