Changing Faces Catalogue - Clare County Library

I have been cataloging and documenting the
everyday events of the area since I moved
here – first day at school, carol singing at
Christmas, Brian Boru Festival, as well as
the ordinary moments that many people
take for granted.
I became fascinated with the multi-layered make up of the town that I observed
on a daily basis, the mixture of old and new, physically represented by an everchanging
landscape and the ecletic mix of outlooks and values held by the
people who live here. Whilst the area has been constantly evolving, it has also
held steadfastly to its old ways and values and, mainly for this reason, we choose
to call it ‘home’.
I would like to express my thanks to all the people who allow me to view their
lives through my camera lens on a daily basis. These images represent a tiny
moment in time in the lives of the people of Ballina /Killaloe, an area of constantly
changing faces.
