The Storm Called ProgressThe experience of contemporary Ireland is one marked by the enormity of the changes taking place on the island. This post-boom landscape is one burdened with the legacy of past failings and challenged by unprecedented and sustained levels of erosion economically. This work explores the landscape image as a site of expression for ideas about place and experience. Adopting the coastline as a metaphor for transitional space, it presents a landscape that is exposed, eroding and fragile, a space where uncertainty abounds. This allegorical series questions modern Ireland tentative future prospects as a place that is increasingly defined by its relationship with the sublime space of globalized economics.

On Medical Discrimination against Autism.

So, apparently there's this lad by the name of Paul Corcoran over in the USA, who's being denied a heart transplant... because he has autism. I can't begin to tell you how angry this makes me. I'm not even going to rant properly, or make any jokes about the issue. This needs to stop. This poor lad needs a heart transplant, and some bastard has decided he can't have one because he's got autism. Luckily, there's a petition you can sign and it's right here and I suggest you go sign it immediately.

Before you go and do that, though, I want you to know something about Paul Corcoran. I'm pretty sure he's no kid... except that he is. According to the petition page his father set up, he carries a Princess Peach (of the Mario games) doll around with him for comfort. Let that sink in for a second. There's something heartbreaking about that, isn't there? Because there's something about it that screams innocence- that if there is one person in the world who doesn't deserve to denied a life-saving operation, here he is. But that's exactly what's happening to him, for no better reason than unjustifiable, monstrous discrimination. I'm going to put that link up again. Go help save this young man's life:
