I love being outside, and the small reminders it leaves me with. The wind burn on my face after a long day outside - the sock tan line after a summer wearing my favourite pair - the scar from a nicked finger, an unplanned keepsake.
Below you’ll find things I've made myself, and with others, all inspired by our time outside. Small keepsakes and reminders for the days in between adventures.

A risograph print of Vico, swimming spot in Dublin. Limited run of 40.
Riso printing creates a specific style of saturated colours and a tiny dot effect to the details of an image.
A4 Risograph print of an areal view of Port Beach, one of the most beautiful, remote corners we walked through in Donegal. Limited edition print run of 50.
Risograph prints are a unique format of printing, where each colour layer is printed separately. This riso print is based off of four colours, so went through the printer four times, each time adding a new colour and building up layers. Because of this layering process, each print might look slightly different to the next one. It creates punch, vibrant colours.

DESCRIPTION
Growing up, I always felt that the only place to find adventure would be outside this island. I wanted to explore, to see new places, to have new experiences. And that’s exactly what I did. However, a recurring conversation began to follow me — the further I went, and the more people I met, the more I was told what a beautiful, unique, and idyllic place Ireland was. To them, Ireland represented the exact type of adventure that I was travelling to find.
This project was born from a desire to explore and know my home. To find the Ireland that I hadn’t experienced. In order to achieve this, I walked each and every one of the National Waymarked Trails of Ireland. These trails, 42 in total, rambled through 25 counties, and encompassed a combined distance of over 4,000km. The photographs and reflections selected for this publication are a sample of the work created from this ongoing project.
For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.
You can find a list of all the TLP Editions here.
PhotoIreland is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland to develop support projects such as the TLP Editions.
