Carmel Cleary

Born in Waterford Carmel Cleary has received many awards for her photography. These images of a Bonmahon cove are from the ‘Explorations’ touring exhibition which, after an extensive Irish tour, went on to represent Ireland at the 1996 Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia’.

‘Cleary’s photographs, all taken in one small cove in Co. Waterford imbue water-worn stone with the softness of flesh… They make beautiful images’.
