Shamrock State of Mind

With this project, I wanted to produce something very personal to me. After a lot of thought, research, and idea testing I felt that producing a publication about my Irish heritage would be something special. This project explores what it means to be Irish, the mindest that the Irish have and shines a light on big parts of our culture such as Gaelic Football, Music and celebrating our history. I’ve interviewed, surveyed and spoken to family & friends with questions about what Ireland means to them. I’ve also produced some work around Ireland’s GAA as well as documented what it’s like to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Liverpool.
