"Following Ulysses" was published by Hi Tone Books in June 2022 with an accompanying text by Nuala O'Connor to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the publication of Ulysses. Following Ulysses" is the culmination of a 10-year photographic project. After my first reading of Ulysses I was inspired to use the structure of James Joyce's novel to explore the themes of culture, politics, character and social struggle in modern Dublin. Each photograph corresponds to one of the 18 episodes in Ulysses.
