Emerging Narratives 

Social Engagement & Practice Mentorship Programme - Building for the Future from STAC and Creative Ireland.

Over six months, I received mentorship from Deirdre O’Mahony, Kate O’Shea, Evelyn Broderick &  Enya Moore. I spent the final two of those months, working with The Workmen’s Boat Club in Clonmel. 

We explored the River Suir from the perspective of the members, most of whom have spent their entire lives on the river. We mapped out the stretch of river that the club uses and gathered place names and stories, and a host of species which they both see regularly and have not seen in years.

These stories were also woven into the sound piece with the interactive pieces being accessible via scanning QR Codes.

 

Further sculptural elements were supplied by the use of boat and boat building paraphernalia supplied by the Club for the duration of exhibition.
