I take a road trip which explores colour and texture in a formal way my observations are inspired by early colour documentary. Unable to avoid cliché, I find myself indulging in attachment, nostalgia, romanticism and voyeurism. Travelling through a post celtic tiger Connemara. I am engaged in a mythical interpretation of place. Furthered by reading Introduction to William Eggleston's Guide by John Szarkowski in which he states ‘Preoccupation with private experience is a hallmark of the romantic artist, whose view is characteristically self-centered, a social, and, at least in posture, anti-traditional...and it has generally been expressed in a style heavy with special effects: glints and shadows, dramatic simplicities, familiar symbols, and idiosyncratic technique'
