The Changeling Wife

Upcoming project:

"One Friday night, in March 1895, Michael Cleary of Ballyvadlea, Ireland, set fire to his wife for refusing to eat a piece of toast."*

An exploration of the imagery of this tragic true story in which a woman was too stylish and independent for her husband, thus was deemed by him to be a fairy.

This will be part of a trio of short solo works with "Gan Ainm, Gan Anam" (see past projects) and "Isobel Gowdie research solo" titled "The Fairy Wives".
