Groundwork - repost

Well my good friend Katie Mooney-Sheppard (also of Bringing Home The, a lovely food blog) has packed up and followed her dual citizenship to Australia, bringing the one and only hard copy of Groundwork, a zine we made together in 2013, with her. I thought I would re-post my piece from the zine again here as it's perfectly apt for this horrendous January. All of the Lights looks into light within cities, concentrating on Dublin. I talk about SAD, the introduction of street lamps, art works that use light, how a city can brand itself with light, Kaplan & Kaplan's 'soft fascinations', and Christmas decorations.

The images are also by Mooney-Sheppard. In the original hand bound zine they are their own page, inserted between folds. The translucent effect was added for the pdf. Anna Gallagher of Bask Design and Aine Gallagher (two very talented, unrelated girls) also both contributed to Groundwork.

Please open the images below in a new tab to enlarge.
