notes

SHEEPWIRE, I + II .Elements found in the landscape of Dún Chaocháin, Erris, Co Mayo. From a body of photographic work documenting the Special Area of Conservation at the interface of the high sea cliffs of North Mayo and the North Atlantic. Shape and form both a compliment and a contrast to the natural environment which is open and wild. Elemental in the workings of the landscape, sheep wire defines areas, confines animals, protects land from grazing, omnipresent, visible and invisible simultaneously.
