Máire Uí Mhaicín worked for several years on a very fascinating and demanding project, which was based on her talent for photography and her deep passion for Irish literature. She took hundreds of photos of Irish-language writers and authors whose work explores Ireland’s cultural heritage in prose, poetry, dramas, essays, biographies, literary criticism, folklore, children’s literature and other forms.
Máire put energy, enthusiasm and devotion in her work and the result was an amazing series of portraits of Irish language published writers.
Many of her photos had been displayed in a successful exhibition
An Chéad Chéad / The First 100
in the axis art centre, Ballymun, Dublin.
Her work had been on display between Thursday 18th September and Friday 24th October 2014. In addition, a closing event in the form of a public interview with three of the featured writers took place on the 24th of October at 8pm, hosted by TG4’s Tristan Rosenstock.
Unfortunately Máire could not attend the events, because she didn't win her last battle against illness.
In this personal website she had started sharing the development of her work, her motivations and the origin of her love for photography and Irish culture.
