This week I will be returning to Ireland, I feel really blessed to be able to go back so soon.
The main focus of my trip, with regards to the research project, will be to travel to geographic sites suggested by my interviewees. My participants each selected a site that represented freedom to them and one that represents repression. using a medium format mamiya 645j, I will photograph these sites. When I return I'll begin the process of transforming these images into large prints that I will then weave together into an installation piece for one of the walls of the gallery.

I would also like to announce that the opening for my show, "Women in a Landscape of Change" will be on Wednesday March 30th in the Worth Ryder Gallery at UC Berkeley.

I will send updates from Ireland and my rough edit form the Magdalen Laundry section of the film will be posted shortly.

Happy Holidays,
Louisa
