who says a fence has to be boring?
I like to wander the city (as does everyone in the group, it seems) and take advantage of my time outside the busy and industrious Baltimore. Armagh has a lot of character, including colored front doors and interesting fences. Here is one of those interesting fences; as a bonus, it’s painted a lovely blue-green. I […]
Great Grates
Today’s visual blogging prompt is patterns. I like how we now notice the details around us and under our feet.

Nearby Texture
I loved is bridge wall. These plants could grow anywhere but they chose this wall. It’s craggy and harsh and mean looking, yet it can sustain life. It reminded me of how farmers would grow things on the rocky coasts of Ireland. They just put seaweed on rocks and somehow that’s enough. Either this land […]

Today’s adventure had plenty of eye popping textures and these are some of the textures that grabbed by attention. When I associated the word texture with these images, I was reminded that the object’s space & surroundings inform us about how much or how little we value texture.

Navan on the brain (storm)
As a theatrical designer in the 2014 Armagh project I have been toying with a few design ideas for the plays we are working on. I have also been toying with a few story ideas for a short play which will commence first, followed by a broad sketch of some initial thoughts about a few […]
Dan Corrigan Armagh Day 1
Armagh awakes Pulsating with methodical hum. Purposeful, yet without the desperation a’common ‘cross the pond. A paradox of birth and dust. The city is at once born anew each day, flowering in lively hope, from dark and Troubled past, Sprouts of Bartsia reach for the sun. Backdropped by ruins, A city without time Hallowed halls […]
