My photo series inspired by the mythological figure of the Chailleach was selected as one of the winners of the Éirí arts award.
ÉIRÍ (standing for Évoking Ireland’s Resilient female Ícons) has been an international arts competition in parallel with a participatory research project aimed to re-ignite awareness of inspirational female figures from Irish mythology and folklore who have all too often been forgotten, suppressed, or overwritten in the mists of time. Members of the public have been invited to submit original art in any form, inspired by any female figure from Ireland’s mythology or folklore. The hope is that this project may lead to better representation of women in Ireland’s national iconography and identity documentation.
