When photographic artist, Miriam O'Connor, lost her brother, Jerome, to cancer in 2013, she moved back from Dublin to run the family farm just outside Macroom, along with her sister, Sheila. It's a kind of homage to Jerome and also, we had to run the farm to support my mum. Traumatised by the loss of her only brother, O'Connor took photographs around the farm "as a way to survive, to get through things." Armed with a new approach, O'Connor began to think about all about the daily tasks undertaken on the beef farm. O'Connor took a photographic inventory of everything on the farm.
