Bull Island, Myles Shelly

'Bull Island is a nature reserve in north Dublin. It formed over 200 years ago due to changes in currents in Dublin Bay following the construction of the North Bull Wall. The island is now one of our most important nature reserves and serves as a haven for wildlife and a recreational area for people in the city. A combination of natural and man- made processes continues to build and erode its features to this day. 

With this project, I want to convey a sense of what it is like to be immersed in this landscape. I was drawn to traces of human intervention, and human made structures that were slowly being consumed by nature.'
(Words by Myles Shelly)

For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.

You can find a list of all the TLP Editions here.

PhotoIreland is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland to develop support projects such as the TLP Editions.
