Manaʻo kekahi hoa ʻO ka hōʻikeʻike a Debbie Godsell, 'Flail', ma Source Arts Center. "E pili ana i ka Protestantism a me ka ulu ʻana ma Ireland a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kēlā," wahi āna. Ua ʻike au i kēia hoa mai ko mākou mau makahiki ʻelima; Ua kākau ʻia kona inoa ma nā puke i hāʻawi ʻia mai iaʻu mai ka papa ma luna o kahi kula liʻiliʻi ʻekolu lumi ma County Kilkenny e lawelawe ana i ka Ekalesia kūloko o ʻIlelani a me nā kaiāulu hoʻomana liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. 

I nā makahiki 1980 a me 1990s ʻIlelani, ʻike ʻia ka Katolika he hoʻomana ʻokoʻa o nā kuʻuna Gothic a me nā kiʻi kiʻi, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ka mea aʻu i wehewehe pinepine ai ʻo ka moʻomeheu gilt-less 'tea a me nā biscuits' o ka Ekalesia o ʻIlani. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka Protestantism ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi, ʻoi aku ke kaohi ʻana a me ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e hele mai me kahi hoʻoilina paʻakikī.

Ua hoʻomaka ka ʻimi ʻana a Godsell i kāna hoʻoilina hoʻomana me ka National Folklore Collection's Protestant Folk Memory Project, i alakaʻi ʻia e Dr Deirdre Nuttall, nāna i hāʻawi i kahi ʻatikala i ka papa inoa hōʻikeʻike, me ka mea hoʻokalakupua ʻo Cristín Leach. I ka makahiki 2022, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Godsell i 14 mau hana hoʻomaikaʻi ʻo Harvest Thanksgiving ma West Cork, e hāʻawi ana ma luna o 140 mau kiʻi i ka Collection ma UCD. Hoʻi hou ʻo Godsell i ka ʻohi ʻohi ʻana ma 'Flail', me ka hoʻohana ʻana iā lākou e noiʻi i kona pilina me ka lāhui a me ka ʻike ʻike ʻo Irish Anglican.

ʻO ka hoʻokomo ʻana ma The Source Arts Center e hāʻawi i kahi kaohi ʻana. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia o nā hana ʻeiwa kahi e noho ai i loko o kona kaumaha ponoʻī, i ka ʻike ʻana o kekahi i kekahi, i loko o ka pā hale kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi, hale kiʻi puka aniani ʻole. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā hana hou aʻe mai kēia pūʻulu i kahi hoʻomaʻamaʻa mua ma Cork Printmakers Studio Gallery ma 2023 a ua hana hou ʻia i ka papa inoa e pili pū ana.

Haawina Moolelo (2024) he hale kiaʻi poepoe i hana ʻia me nā kuli - ua ʻaiʻē ʻia kekahi mai kahi halepule kūloko, ua hoʻopili ʻia a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ʻē aʻe me ka tapestry, tartan, a me nā lole pale, i paʻi ʻia a paʻi ʻia paha. ʻO nā kiʻi waihona waihona i paʻi ʻia: bales of hay, harvesting manual, snakes and Saint Patrick, he wahine ma luna o ka lio, he hale nui, he makana nui o nā huaʻai, nā mea kanu, a me ka waiū, nā kulina, kahi ʻāina liʻiliʻi kahakai, kahi pahu, kahi palapala. o West Cork, a me ka lima e paa ana i ka palaoa. Hōʻike ʻia nā huaʻōlelo i kālai ʻia ʻo “Mai hoʻohenehene” a puni. Ua hoʻonani ʻia ka hale me nā epaulettes kāhiko pūʻali koa i hoʻonani ʻia e ka maka, nā puke mōʻaukala, a me ka hale o nā kumu oat a me ka hydrangea.

Ma hope o koʻu ulu ʻana ma ke ʻano he hapa o kēia hui liʻiliʻi ma ʻIlelani Hema, ua hoʻohenehene wau i ka hewa Katolika i hui pū ʻia me kahi ʻano hana Protestant. ʻO ka hana a Godsell e hoʻomaopopo iaʻu he pono iaʻu e hoʻoponopono i ka hewa Protestant - e lawe ana i ke kaumaha o nā manaʻo a me nā kuhi hewa, ʻike ʻia he ʻōlelo Pelekane, waiwai, a unionist - nā ʻano i loaʻa ʻole iā mākou i ka hihia o koʻu ʻohana. ʻO kēia ʻano manaʻo ʻē aʻe e pili pono ana i ka hana a Godsell, e ʻōlelo ana i ka pono e hoʻomaha iā ʻoe iho. Hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia ka 'maʻalahi' a me ka noho mālie o ka Ekalesia o ʻIlelani i loko o ka pōʻaiapili o ka mōʻaukala a me ka dynamics pilikanaka i hoʻoikaika i kāna ʻōlelo haʻahaʻa a i ʻole ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana, e like me ka haʻahaʻa moʻomeheu o kahi ʻike liʻiliʻi kaʻawale ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka hui Irish. ʻO ia hoʻi, ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i nā ʻokoʻa moʻomeheu a me ka hoʻomana no ka mālama ʻana i ka noho maluhia ʻana, pale i ka hakakā me nā hoalauna ma kahi ʻāina Katolika nui loa, a ma kahi o ka nānā ʻana i ka ʻākoakoa kaiāulu no ke ola moʻomeheu - e hoʻomoe i kou poʻo i lalo, e pale i ka huki ʻana, a mai hoʻohilahila.

In Nā poʻe hoʻōla (2024), hoʻohiwahiwa ʻo Godsell i ke ʻano o ko mākou mau kūpuna, a i ʻole paha. Hōʻike ʻia nā paʻi kiʻi nui i nā poʻo i hoʻopili ʻia me ka mauʻu, ka ʻili hipa, ka hessian, a me ka lole, me nā inoa a me nā poʻo inoa: Edward, Puuku Aina; Suzannah, Mahiai; John, Skinner; Daniela, he kamaaina; Amosa, Mahiai; James, Keonimana; Elizabeth, Moiwahine; James, Kamana; Ann, Kauwa; a ma waenakonu, he lima e paʻa ana i ka palaoa - Ka lima mana loa o ke Akua.

Hōʻike hou ʻia nā cushions pule ma Kneelers (2024), he paʻi kiʻi lima huki ʻia ma ke kākoʻo pepa kiʻi hou ʻia, i uhi ʻia e nā kiʻi paʻi ʻia ʻekolu, i kapa ʻia. hooilina a Ka ho'oilina (ʻelua 2024). Ma kekahi o na kii mai Ka ho'oilina, he wahine eli turf. ʻO ka mea nui, aia kona wāwae ʻākau ma ka hāmeʻa - kahi kikoʻī pili i Eli me ka hema, akau, hema, akau, hema, he apana e hilinai ana i ka paia komo. Ua hana hou ʻia kēia kauā (he ʻoki ʻoki kuʻuna kuʻuna) he mau wāwae wāwae ʻē aʻe, e pili ana i ka manaʻoʻiʻo ua ʻeli ka poʻe Protestant me ko lākou wāwae hema - e hoʻoikaika hou i kā lākou hui hewa, kahi huaʻōlelo i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ka Latin no "ma ka ʻaoʻao hema."

ʻO kekahi ʻāpana, Paepae (2024), e hōʻike ana i kahi papa hana lāʻau i hoʻonani ʻia me nā pūʻulu oats, tassels, pepa kiʻi pepa i paʻi ʻia me ka palaoa, Jesmonite casts of apples (kekahi shrivelling), wrinkled-eyed potatoes, a me ka ʻuala i hoʻouka ʻia o ka sliotar hurling a me badminton shuttle cock. Ma ka ʻaoʻao waena o ka wikiō ʻekolu ʻāpana eponymous, Flail, e hōʻike ana i nā kaʻina hehi lima a me nā mīkini, ʻike mākou i ka mea pena i loko o kahi pālule keʻokeʻo lōʻihi, ʻo kona mau lima i hāpai ʻia e like me nā kiʻi i uhi ʻia o ka palaoa i piha i kona kino.

Ma hope o ka nānā ʻana i ka hōʻikeʻike, ua hoʻouna aku au i kekahi hoa ʻē aʻe – ua male kāna haku mele i ke kahuna pule o koʻu mau mākua, kahi pilina e hōʻoki i ko mākou ʻike i ke ʻano o ko mākou hānai ʻia ʻana. "Aia wau ma Thurles ma kahi hōʻikeʻike e noʻonoʻo nei au i ke ʻano o ka ulu ʻana o ka Ekalesia o Ireland i ko mākou ʻano. He kamaʻilio ma luna o ke kīʻaha waina, malia paha?" ʻO kā lākou pane: "He kīʻaha sherry mahana, ʻoiaʻiʻo."

He mea pena a me ka mea kākau ʻo Neva Elliott ma Dublin.
