santa comes to the fishes


fish food


ancestor resting place




st. pat and the serpent




This is part of a series of images exploring the idea of how st patrick drove the snakes from ireland and how australia is full of snakes. we love snakes. they are fantactic. some aborigional people have the legend of the dreamtime rainbow serpent. mabye the snakes came to australia after being kicked out of ireland, just like my ancestors who were transpoted and or escaped the famine.




i have been to ireland and looked up my ancestors and will return some day. mabye i would like to find a collaorator who would like to explore myths and legends in aust and ireland. having fun with the images and links.




i am also working on a series about the destryction of the oceans and the food chain particularlt the impact of plastic on fish. if any one is interested let me know.

birth of st.Patrick

this depicts the time the celtic time before christianity came to ireland. the land was dominated by snakes, who roamed free unaware of their inherent evil and impending doom.
