Killiney Colour Fields

I am exploring further through the world every day, living and working in strange places that give me culture shock in subtle ways that cannot be noticed. I am choosing to begin writing from this timeline because what the fuck not. I have to start somewhere. I have been digging into photographic textures since my participation in the Future Ancestors program in Hanoi, which ran over November and December in 2023. This acted as a gateway into SO many things.

To name a few…

• relearning a former home

• reconnecting with dear friends

• academic growth and expansion of research

• deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture, and exposure to such through critical theories and Vietnamese knowledge holders

• New photographic techniques, and the discovery of the typography

• Reflections on the person I was, the person I have become and the person who I am becoming. Identify flux and personificational confusion.

• Leaving things behind and gathering new things up

Indeed, naming a few. I could name more but now for this will do.

Truth is I am new to this public form of writing, and if you are reading this you are privy to something that I am finding strange to write even as a write it. Double self awareness/triple self/quad self/infinite bliss twisting off the cap.

I live in Dublin now, and I have a broken fibula. I live in Dublin now, and it ain’t easy.

I will document this process as it comes and goes, sometimes retrospectively and with very little structure. This is a new experiment. Lets see what happens, maybe even together!
