About
A collaborative work led by architectural graduate Dominic Daly and filmmaker Josh Meany, GROUNDWORK: A Short Film presents a drawn journey along an imagined section line cut through the town and hinterland of Ballinasloe, County Galway. The film presents a collage of drawing, field recording, image, score and word, reflecting on fieldwork gathered by Daly for his dispersed exhibition in the town as part of AATE’s 2022 edition. A study of identity, place and material culture, in the context of a wider reconsidering of the place and potential of towns in contemporary Ireland. Entirely of this community, the film features the voice, crafts, texture and people of Ballinasloe. Architectural tools become a means to reimagine local identities, through understanding the nuanced personality of what is already there.
Dominic Daly explores materiality, process and identity through drawing, design and photography. Currently working for TAKA Architects, he was awarded a masters in architecture from UCD in 2022 receiving the Bruce Shortt Award and RIBA President’s Medal nomination. Dominic’s solo works have featured in publications including: Making Belfield (UCD Press); Foreign Exchange (Story, Building), Architecture Ireland (RIAI Journal). He has previously worked for African Futures Institute (La Biennale 2023); LAN Paris; Architecture at the Edge.
