We live in a very rural location in Kildare across from a beautiful woodland. I had a baby boy in 2018 and we have a practice of taking daily walks in the woods. In the beginning when he was tucked into a sling, the walks soothed him to sleep and allowed me an hour to think and to connect to a world beyond our home. I often found myself grappling with a tenuous and morphing identity as a mother and an artist, struggling to reconcile the overlapping boundaries of the domestic space and the studio space. During these walks I began to take short video recordings, 10-30 seconds, of insects and invertebrate animals in the woods as a way to re-engage with the world. At the same, I started to record the strange sounds my newborn son was making – beyond the coos, there were odd gurgles and grunts, raspy pants and high pitched peeps. I overlaid his sounds onto the videos – reimagining the otherworldly sounds of these beings, conflating the domestic and the wild.
