Stories That Remain Untold is a photographic project which documents abandoned buildings and their remaining contents within Ireland.
Travelling around Ireland Suella Holland has captured images of homes, schools, workhouses, hotels, places once lived in, places once loved, places full of history, often with collections of personal possessions left behind.
In this current body of work Suella has produced long exposure images to bring together a collection of photographs each of which hides its true past. Behind each of these images is an unknown history – a story that remains untold. Who lived here? Why did they leave? Where are they now? Where are their family? So many questions with so few answers.
These unanswered questions are intriguing and leave us to create our own stories about what may have happened or what may have been. Suella’s work has inspired other artists to recreate her images as paintings and writers to create stories from memories invoked by her photographs.
Opening night: 7.00pm, Thursday 18 February
Dunboyne Library.
Exhibition runs until 3 March.
All welcome.

Sisters Susan and Elizabeth Yeats were in the vanguard of the revival of Irish art and artisan crafts in the early part of the last century. As print artists they published many of the great Irish writers of their time including their brother W.B. through their printing company Cuala Press. Elizabeth also authored a number of stunningly illustrated books on how to paint flowers using watercolours.
