Famine (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.

I was going through old pictures and came across one of the old theater I got married in 15 years ago. We stood in front of these windows and had our receiving line--some 300+ people! Everyone from my Great-aunt Grace to a guy in a Grateful Dead shirt who came in off the street to help himself to the buffet.
Went to a memorial service last year in this same theater. There was a montage of photos of the man we were honoring that I've mixed in here. He had been my neighbor. He'd ride his bike with his dog Homer on a rope leash and always had a kind word.
Sometimes I wish I could forget, that that would be better somehow. That we couldn't feel so much when things die. But it wouldn't stop them from dying. That's just how it is.
Now, go take some pictures of puppies or something!! : )

What's connecting the past and the present we call chain of events, these events aren't the causes, they are just streams of thoughts and actions like a river (oh I suddenly remember a book called Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse). To make a "present" requires spirit, ideas, perserverance and will. The root/cause of something we see today whether they exist on physical or idea levels are not the events themselves, suffice to say it is not the sum of the chain of events, totally not the past.
Rain and growth in the past doesn't create a sunny energetic afternoon and a cup of coffee. In this painting, the polaroid capture is portraited as the idea causing things to happen.
At Belmont Station,
a bar on Second Avenue in Long Beach,
he was very cheerful,
and told me he was a biker,
and that his Harley, a tribute
to which is emblazoned on his
t-shirt,
was parked outside.
