Illion East
For GHost IV, at St John on Bethnal Green, Illion East was an installation screened on the end wall of the north gallery. It was about a remote village in the west of Ireland struck by lighting in the 1970s and after the tragedy was abandoned. The land was sold and is slowly being reclaimed by a later planted forest.
It is one of the many eroded and derelict villages still visible in this rugged landscape, deserted either during the Famine or at a much later date. This installation seeks to capture the past presence and spirit of the people who lived there while reflecting on the loss implicit in this site.
