The Men / Na Fir
This project reimagines a historic photograph from the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life collections as a large-scale textile artwork. Drawing from Four Aran Men in Aran Costume (circa 1936), the piece revitalizes elements of traditional Irish dress through a fusion of contemporary and traditional textile techniques. The work explores the intersection of craft, labour, and identity- honouring Ireland’s rich textile heritage.
Materials: Digitally printed organza, Irish linen, Irish wool, neoprene, and canvas.
Techniques: Sashiko hand embroidery, fabric appliqué, laser cutting, and digital textile processes.
