This is my first blog post on my website.

I hope to share more of these personal projects over time, especially as I am lucky to have so many talented friends to collaborate with. This one encouraged me to start, to put some of the ideas in my head into something tangible, and to share more of what inspires me here in Ireland.

How did his begin. Well, Barry and I first met at the gym. I am a photographer, he is a professional actor, and from early on we talked about working on something together. We did not have a clear idea at first, only that it should be outside, grounded, visceral, and full of heart and story.

The Morrígan Waits grew from those conversations. The Morrígan, goddess of fate and transformation, became the thread that held it together, a way of exploring masculinity, vulnerability, and change against raw Irish landscapes.

The challenge with still photography is always how to link the images together and tell a story. We decided to intersperse some video footage, but also to give it a heartbeat with a poem and a voiceover. I wrote the text, and Barry brought it to life. That combination gave the piece another layer, turning it into something more than just a slideshow.

The Morrígan Waits

Did you ever stand on a bog and feel it shift under you?

The ground breathing beneath your feet.

That’s what it felt like to me, in me.

Heavy, unsteady

I didn’t come here to fix anything

I just needed quiet.

No screens. No pretending.

Just air, water, and the weight of it of it all.
