With 115 listed ancient monuments and evidence of human settlement dating back 4000 years, Churchtown is one of the richest archaeological areas in the south of Ireland. To honour the magnificent work of a dear friend Michael Ryan, who worked tirelessly as a UN Engineer in some of the poorest parts of the world and lost his life in the tragic Ethiopian 2019 air crash, an indigenous seven-year-old oak tree was planted. This simple concept unleashed a whole series of magically related events. The clearance of over a dozen non-native sitka spruce trees; the un-silting and first-time naming of the local stream, “An Tamaillín”, its meaning in English, ‘The short moment’; the re-wilding of the woodland floor, once smothered and lifeless under the 40 year old sitka canopy; the cleaning and installation of a whole range of boulders full of ancient fossils dating back 360 million years; cleaning and mounting of ancient oak, larch and bog oak tree roots which echo the hidden past of the mighty ancient trees growing here since the ice melted 10,000 years ago; the discovery of the European eel, a healthy resident in the Ballygrace pond but originated some three years ago in the Saragossa Sea; the documentation by a professional entomologist of 54 different moth species; the composition of a musical score by local musicians marking this indigenous planting project in Michael’s honour.

As the mega giants of the global music industry force independent artists into their over-loaded net, leaving very few realistic “fair trade” options for “non main stream” productions, this project sets a different course. Artists, musicians, engineers, designers, book printers have contributed their expertise to give the listener the “old school all round experience” of immersing oneself in an album of songs and stories. The album has been defined by a very experienced music lover as a PROTEST ALBUM. It is most certainly that and I hope more. Without protest there can be no progress.

Pathological Demand Avoidance, PDA is a pervasive developmental disorder. It is rare and even in professional circles rather unknown. Children that are born with PDA suffer terrible anxiety and fear. The simplest task can frighten them. It is closely connected to autism which in our society is viewed in an embarrassingly negative light. In fact autistic people are very much excluded by our so-called ‘normal society’. Collaborating with some of Irelands finest musicians and singers, two original dedicated songs were recorded and are due for release. Using art, music and reconnecting with woodland, streams and the ocean, SAME ONLY DIFFERENT sets out to break down, where possible fear and anxiety. SOD shall act as a bridge across the waters of exclusion, that separate us as human beings. Here is a taster of the songs PERFECT CHILD and NORMIE. The release date will be announced on this site and on all other platforms very soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1452080392567-F69WUCNE98PAPRF3JB9I/Studio-shots-for-web.jpg Current http://declanomahony.com/gallery daily 0.75 2016-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511377653-IA6C0OZ76K59UVWYODU2/2525.JPG Gallery - On the Merge 2013 / 73 x 110cm / Polymers & Inks on Acrylic plate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511377653-IA6C0OZ76K59UVWYODU2/2525.JPG Gallery - On the Merge 2013 / 73 x 110cm / Polymers & Inks on Acrylic plate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511494933-P21U55S5F34VFZ10FMCR/Painting+six.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1453470859660-WT665TC8EHK99JET0DDQ/Declan_MG_6127-1024x760.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511376227-KA3A0GAYGLGYMLWNAW9B/2626.JPG Gallery - Lakeland 2013 / 130 x 122 cm / Polymers Inks on Primed Canvas Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511386078-4T8OSBZZV2VYW3DKCS60/2727.JPG Gallery - Maratean Dream 2015 / 71 x 113 / Mixed media on Canvas Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511381966-VU5KPTIPLC96Z8E7C21K/2828.JPG Gallery - Green Screening 2015 / 71 x 113 / Mixed media on Canvas Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511387137-F1XJNNCUQP5RH3FM3H8J/2929.JPG Gallery - Mothers Vision 2015 / 90 x 130 cm / Polymers on Canvas Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511390970-HDDBVLQ3243FSPX040HX/3131.JPG Gallery - Lakeland II 2015 / 130 x 122 cm / Polymers Inks on Primed Canvas Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511391374-X9ZX4ZZR4KKJFM0K4DBO/BLEW+INSTANCE.jpg Gallery - Fusion 2014 / 50 x 65 cm / Mixed media on Acrylic Plates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511400523-D4IPZNHL5SIJIRRM7BBP/Constellation+on+glass08.JPG Gallery - Fusion II 2014 / 60 x 90 cm / Mixed media on Acrylic Plates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511403151-63OBBQ0E8ZSZFZG62C7P/Painting+Five.jpg Gallery - Pandora 2015 / 50 x 60 cm / Mixed media on Acrylic Plates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511406442-WFQKXMR9LN0OUQTT2NGK/Painting+Four.jpg Gallery - Kelpbox II 2013 / 75 x 102 / Mixed media on Acrylic Plates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511410823-0TUPJ40ZVG1R40T8RXGD/Painting+one.jpg Gallery - Miromiro 2014 / 74 x 74 cm / Polymers on Canvas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511410416-5ZS6HYLZ5SP9ZEH9GV2G/Painting+seven.jpg Gallery - Moves 2014 / 80 x 104 cm / Acrylics and Inks on Canvas Board https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511420375-I7GT0X9G5P3EGD5EZONV/Painting+six.jpg Gallery - Kelpbox I 2013 / 75 x 102 cm / Mixed media on Acrylic Plates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1454511417888-W0I8S47VXLEO96PEU4IU/Painting+Three.jpg Gallery - Netz 2014 / 74 x 101 cm / Mixed media on Canvas https://static1.squarespace.com/static/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/56a2346c0e4c11469b0b57a8/56b214a220c64798c10ba2f7/1455636185108/ Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1455710968534-Z4K9RGD7E14PLZ5M91IQ/3030.JPG Gallery - Lakeland III 2015 / 130 x 122 cm / Polymers Inks on Primed Canvas Board http://declanomahony.com/design daily 0.75 2024-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cf77eb204d5a4f88ae63e/1642516690321-SM7T2LKH5B99YDXPQLKX/image-asset.png Projects - Winning design proposal for Avanti Architects Royal Ulster Hospital, Belfast, Northern Ireland.
