BESCHREIBUNG

The right hand holds the left (2026), an extension of and the I ran'(2023), further develops the visualisation of the artists' grandmother's recollection of her time in a mother and baby home, Ireland, 1964.

These state-funded, religiously operated institutions frequently failed to provide adequate care for mothers and babies. Many babies were given up for adoption, like the artist's dad. At Castlepollard mother and baby home, women were forced to change their names, some assigned house numbers, others saint's names, erasing personal identity. O'Connell's grandmother Muriel became "Bernadette".
