From the artist: “This series of photographs document St.Joseph’s, (more fondly known as ‘Holy Joe’s’) Irish Social Centre in North London. I photographed this haven for Irish immigrants in London for over five years, as it declined in numbers. I wanted to capture the ‘notion’ of national identity, as a result of immigration and what it means to those who had to leave their own environment. This project pays homage to this generation of dedicated believers where traditions and customs were preserved by the experience as an Irish immigrant.”
