Museum of Abandoned and Bereaved Objects

Sarah Stevens from Derelict Nation has a solo show running at The Model until July 29th. It’s called Museum of Abandoned and Bereaved Objects.

I’m always interested in looking at Sarah’s work. She accompanied me on a visit to The Mill, Ballisodare. She has a way of noticing things that other people would simply not see.

It’s fascinating to see the things that are left behind in homes and buildings. It makes you wonder about the stories behind the objects. The people who left them there. Are there no family members around?

Some of the items are quite personal. It’s sad to think they have just been left.

If only these items could talk and tell their story.

You can read more about Sarah and Derelict Nation here. I look forward to her next project.
