This piece of bobbin lace is an ongoing artefact and performance piece by the artist. In Memory is a tribute to the 796 babies that were found in Tuam, Co. Galway, at a mother and baby home.
The length and duration of the making process of this piece is a meditative act, reflecting the ongoing exhuming and laying to rest of the bodies discovered, over the course of years. The processing of these atrocities by the Irish public is slow and will take years, as is reflected in the considered and placid construction of this piece of lace.
