A fascinating accordion by this Irish writer that traces how far back you have to go in your family history to be connected to 1 million people — the answer is 20 generations. This accordion gives physical form to the answer to that question.
About his work O'Callaghan states:
as a project-based artist, i investigate critical issues of our time (that interest me - e.g., extinction, queer and sexual politics, our debt to plants), prepare visual reports with my findings, and self-publish these in a variety of formats. using a number of related strategies for engagement (craft, informality, fun, humor, play, insight, and beauty), i hope to draw myself and others into deeper thinking around the subjects i'm investigating...
