‘This never was my town,
I was not born or bred
Nor schooled here and she will not
Have me alive or dead
But yet she holds my mind
With her seedy elegance,
With her gentle veils of rain
And all her ghosts that walk
And all that hide behind
Her Georgian facades.’
***
From ‘Dublin’ by Louis MacNeice.
***
This part of MacNeice’s poem sums up my feelings about Dublin. It is not my town, it is my mother’s town & as such has a very special hold on me. My whole life has been spent making trips to Dublin, for decades to visit family & in more recent times, also to work. The city has been very good to me.
***
This jacket is a homage to Dublin with two of my Dublin prints, ‘Me Aul Flower’ inspired by memories of shopping on Moore St with my granny in the 80s & ‘Valentine’, inspired by the relics of St V in Whitefriar St church.
