Colours and Textures from the Portrane Shoreline is an ongoing photoseries exploring stones and shells gathered from a section of coastline in North Co Dublin. This work was developed through research with a psychiatric hospital, which is soon to be relocated in a new, purpose-built facility very near to where these items were collected. Looking toward the littoral zone wherein the land meets the sea, this project draws attention to the the width of negotiation inherent in the line of the boundary – such as the perimeter of an institution, or the interaction between our subjective experience and the world that lies beyond. These images have been produced as a set of postcards especially for the Halftone Print Fair 2019, so that they can continue to exist within the to and fro of friendly correspondence.
