Loinnir - Timber, ACP, Sound - 2026
Loinnir is a sound sculpture that was presented at Drop Everything festival on Inis Oírr in May 2026. The work used stories collected from the National Folklore Archive Schools Collection and re-told them through the voices of local children on Inis Oírr. Please watch the explainer video to see my process and how it was made.
