Spioraid na gCloch
2018/2017
Spioraid na gCloch (The Spirits of the Stones) is a multidisciplinary body of work based on the writings of landscape writer, Dr. Martin Cromie researching visual and tangible dialogue in response to his recent book. The Spirits of the Stones is a work of literary non-fiction which explores a number of rural town lands in South Armagh, N.Ireland. I was always interested in the archaeological surveys and ‘mappings’ of this area and by commissioning a drone photographer I specifically linked, mapped and aligned places of significance within the book whilst researching the geology and topography through 1860’s OS maps of the area.
