Doreen Kilfeather, Covered, from the series, Buí
This captivating collection of photographs, shot on location at Bothar Buí, West Cork, features the photographer’s daughter and fashion by Simone Rocha. Themes of retreat, domesticity, women and nature are woven through the images which were created in winter and summer seasons 2020/21.
The inaugural publication, presented by THREAD Editions, connects to the legacy of THREAD magazine, showcasing contemporary Irish talent in fashion, photography and design on a curated print platform.
Previously exhibited at Sarah Walker Gallery in June 2024, these images were shot on medium format film. A selection of limited editions printed on Hahnemühle fine art paper and Japanese Awagami papers are available on request.
Bothar Buí is located on a secluded hillside on the Beara peninsula. Designed by renowned Irish architect Robin Walker, this modernist assemblage of farm buildings and contemporary structures works has been a retreat for artists, writers, poets, musicians, families and friends since the 1960s.
