Film “…For Peace Comes Dropping Slow…”
We broke new ground technically with this film. “…For Peace…” is the first film in which light writing was captured in a moving film lens rather than solely by a still camera or “painted on” in post production. None of the gorgeous moving effects were added later, and almost all were captured via the RED […]

At Lough Gill, Parke’s Castle and Innisfree
The sun begins to set at Parke’s Castle, Lough Gill (in which stands the Island of Innisfree). As we approach the castle aerially, participants, including members of Sligo Peace and Reconciliation, the Yeatsian Legacy and the Peace III Programme of Northern Ireland, begin to appear against a stunning shot of Parke’s Castle as our canvas.

At Culleenamore Strand
At Culleenamore Strand at the foot of Knocknarea, ‘comes dropping’ is written in a variety of over-layered sand, water and light writing, during the high sun of the afternoon.

At Carrane Hill Bog
At Carrane Hill Bog Natural Heritage site, light writing against a dark landscape begins the film. With the dawn approaching, light writers chase each other, playfully making their way to the hilltop, and experimenting with the first two words. As the morning brightens, they arrive at the crest of the hill and perform a beautifully […]
“…for peace comes dropping slow…”

Artist and Director Lisa Vandegrift Davala, lives near this island. In this film, the words “…for peace […]

SLIGLOW 2
Last year 800 to 1000 people collaborated with the SLIGLOW team of artists for Sligo’s Culture Night , making SLIGLOW the Sunday Independant’s pick for Culture Night 2009!

Looking at Velazquez
There are artists that command life-long love and respect, Velazquez has mine. Economy of stroke evolved to a dazzling depth of expression in his hands. Each mark encompassed form, function, expression, narrative, psychology, time, and place. No replication, no waste, no sentimentality. Everything we know now about fractals and holograms can be seen in the […]
“Crispness”
The over-all picture of your property has been professionally staged. It is important to achieve what estate agents refer to as “crispness”. Houses with greater crispness sell faster and more easily. Buyers want a “move in” quality. That means that all “dings”, cracks, scuffs, breakages, signs of wear, holes, mismatched hardware, dented or chipped kitchen […]
Gardens: The Outdoor Room
“How to create beautiful forms (is the question) in Europe and in the West. We are not designing forms but designing the atmosphere. How to create the atmosphere, that is what we put most effort in, designing this atmosphere. I truly believe that a person looking at a peaceful garden everyday, will become a peaceful […]
Before And After
Before and after Bathrooms are often fashion’s greatest victims. The bathroom project shown here was a great success. I was told later by the Estate Agent that this feature sold the house. The total cost for complete replacement of delph, adding wainscoting, laminated floor boards, medicine cabinet, new blind, new colour scheme and painting, floor […]
House Staging
It is often quoted in this business that: “How we live in our homes is very different from how we sell our homes”. When you decide to put the most valuable asset you own on the market, the time has come to begin to let go of the personal “place” and begin the “stage show”, […]
It All Started…

Roger had continued the traditions of his own former employer, Shirley Tattersfield, the doyen of a Philadelphia mural tradition that has extended to the present day. Philadelphia’s […]
