I really dont feel them, 1hr39min, HD stereo, [2016] is the documentary video made about these clogs and their manufacture. Where they come from, why, how and when they were made, and under what circumstances they were forged, are of subject matter. I really dont feel them was made across multiple residency programs as part of Frontiers In Retreat [2013-2018]. The video was shot in The Netherlands, Scotland [UK], Finland and the Arctic to its north.
Residencies included recurrent stays at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop [SSW], Helsinki International Artists Program [HIAP] and Mustarinda in Finland. On completion the video was screened first at the SAJOS Cinema, the culture-house and parliament [Sámediggi] of the Sámi people. It was shown at venues and sites backtracking over its own shooting locations from the Arctic to Scotland with a showing at the Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow [CCA] and a homecoming exhibition at Kevin Kavanagh Gallery Dublin.
