These photographs are part of a project on emigration, funded in part by the Commission of the European Communities in 1993-1994.

Ten invited artists from Ireland, France and Spain participated in this project, a six-week journey through places in those countries where emigration has deeply affected the population, culture and landscape.

As an emigré myself at the time, I drew from my own experience which had revealed that "memories and dream images of the past are most often of small and ordinary things, places and moments", elsewhere landscapes, places in Ulster, Catalunya and the south of France from which others had emigrated and might have carried these visual memories. --Rachel Brown

Born in New York City, 1936

Studied photography as private student of Melissa Shook at MIT, Cambridge, MA. 1976.

Represented by Gallery Ehva, Provincetown, Massachusetts, USA, and Galerie Trafic, Paris, France.
