Exhibition by Una Spain

 
There was an exhibition held in the LSAD by MA student in Contemporary Art Practice & Media, Una Spain, November 2012. This exhibition struck a cord with me. It was based on the de-commissioned psychiatric hospital, St. Brigid's, in Ballinasloe. Before I came to LSAD I worked in St. Joseph's Psychiatric Hospital in Limerick - a very similar structure to St. Brigid's. The images in the exhibition are amazing! While I walked around I felt so emotional as the objects documented represented past lives.
 
Here are a few images I took. It was really hard not to put every photo up!!
 
 
 
This image is particularly amazing! Wedding rings -  It speaks volumes!

All I can say is Wow!
