O’Hare’s work seems to bring random glimpses of the past;
a shadow world built up layer upon layer. They also stop on the verge
of revealing their secrets. She revisited the lost places of her childhood,
and found a certain detachment. The places fail to fulfil the desire
of return and remembrance.
‘She remembers feeling like a tourist on the edge of her own life.
‘
