My thesis collection is an exploration of my memories from my travels to Ireland over the years to visit my family. Finding inspiration in the rolling hills and cliffs of County Clare to the colorful houses and pub fronts of Corofin, where my family lives. Using photographs my family and I have taken over the years as sources for imagery inspiration. My collection reflects my personal connection with Ireland; it is a reflection of my memories of walking along the country roads to spending time with my family. The imagery used in my final pieces acts not as a direct translation of a single place within Ireland, but, a collection of my memories of Ireland.
