[un]inhabited initials [after Holbein] is a cross genre essay in images and words explorating Hans Holbein the Younger’s 1524 Alphabet with Dance of Death. [un]inhabited initials [after Holbein] was published in Minor Literature[s] and I'd like to thank the Editor Joseph Schreiber for placing it. You can read it here.
I started to develop it on the Pan Pan Theatre Company international mentorship residency with Forced Entertainment's Terry O’Connor. It draws on satellite images of ghost estates located in Ireland, and uses the skeletal remains of buildings and their relationship to the surrounding landscape to reflect an alphabet of absence. It is part of a longer work titled Uninhabited: Reflecting an Empty Stage which you can read about here.
I was also honoured to to have three pieces from Line Readings: Kathleen, Cathleen
published last month. Ireland, but money is good, too was published in Issue 13 of Channel Magazine (which you can purchase here) and back on the bargain and but stops for a moment on the threshold were published in Swerve (which you can purchase here) I'm looking forward to reading the other contributors work in both publications soon.
In 2022, I spent some time with a group of artists thinking about Lady Gregory and WB Yeats’ play Kathleen (or Cathleen) ni Houlihan. The intended theatre production never happened. Line Readings: Kathleen, Cathleen is a chapbook-length response to the voices in the play, the voices in the room and the conversations it triggered afterwards.
