A Joining of Self is a site-specific portrait of fragmented childhood physical trauma, incorporating memories of different fabrics, dissociative experiences and phrases of manipulation that were used to threaten and enforce secrecy. Ultimately breaking a silence, A Joining of Self brings accord to both conscious and subconscious self.

Photographic artist Suella Holland has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions and has worked on collaborative projects with artists and writers. She is a Board Member of The Darkroom, a member of Visual Artists Ireland and has received bursaries from Meath and Cavan County Councils.
