concept- degeneration, generations of families moving on, evidence left behind, memories

I deviated ever so slightly towards the idea of generations moving on. I was driving from Galway to Limerick and I was struck by the amount of derelict houses along the way. I became interested in the idea of empty homes that would have once been full of life, life that has since moved on. I drove around the Limerick countryside and photographed the inside of derelict homes capturing people’s memories, signs of life that were once there. I photocopied the photographs onto transparencies in an effort to capture the essence of the traces of the memories, the memories that are hardly there anymore.
