This work, created during a 2021 residency at The Butler Gallery, Kilkenny, is inspired by the River Nore. The river served as a constant companion during my travels to and from Kilkenny, prompting an exploration of its literary and artistic significance. My research led me to Seamus Heaney’s poetry, inspired by visits to his friend and artist Barrie Cooke, whose work is on display at The Butler Gallery. Cooke’s former Thomastown studio, bearing the inscription “Everything Flows”, further solidified the connection. This Heraclitean philosophy resonated deeply, shaping my understanding of the river as a metaphor for the ever-changing nature of life. Embracing this fluidity, my process involved daily walks, embracing observation and serendipitous discoveries. These images are the culmination of that journey: thinking, walking, observing, and photographing—walking being fundamental to my practice.
