Drawing on Hynan’s authentic connection with his local community and region, the work traces the remnants of industrial peat harvesting and the tensions that emerge between the tradition of small-scale harvesting for domestic use and the need to protect remaining peatlands.
This exhibition premiere is the first show in a Photo Museum Ireland National Tour, organised in partnership with Source Arts Centre, Thurles, Roscommon Arts Centre, the Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny and Galway International Arts Festival, supported by Arts Council Touring & Project Awards.
