“Maude’s House”
There is a Irish cottage along the Inagh River (Irish eidhneach, "abounding in ivy") in County Clare, Ireland that once belonged to a woman named Maude. To reach her house, one must walk a wooded path that opens into a green meadow, cross an iron gate and climb mist covered steps to the property. The home, barn and outbuildings stand as they were left but each time I return to Maude’s House, I am reminded that all things that have form eventually decay. But I do not dislike decay because it reveals that memory is somehow still alive.


"Maude's House" will be on exhibition at the
National Juried Photography Show
Wickford, Rhode Island
Dates: October 19 - November 11, 2018
Opening Reception:  October 19, 6:30-8:30pm

"When the white flame in us is gone,
And we that lost the world's delight
Stiffen in darkness, left alone
To crumble in our separate night;
When your swift hair is quiet in death,
And through the lips corruption thrust
Has stilled the labour of my breath --

When we are dust, when we are dust
Not dead, not undesirous yet,
Still sentient, still unsatisfied,
We'll ride the air, and shine, and flit,
Around the places where we died . . ."

~Rupert Brooke
