After considering the legends of areas such as Lough Gur, we picked out key symbols to display on the perspex. Lough Gur is centred around mythological underpinnings of culture and Identity and tales of Geraoid Iarla who rode around the lake in silver boots on his mystical horse. As well as taking inspiration from Yeats’ work, we studied stained glass artists such as Harry Clarke.

Stained glass pieces are suspended in groups to display the many colours and patterns we incorporated. This gives a sense of togetherness to our work, which is also found in many of our communities. We build memories from these communities, which makes representing this an important aspect of the project. While the common size and shape of the pieces adds uniformity to the display, individuality is represented through our own works, showcasing variety. This variety is also an important part of our communities. This project has allowed us to reflect on the many memories associated with our local areas, it has given us a chance to contribute to a display that holds the very essence of these communities.
