A short film piece as part of the Portrait of the Artist series by the talented Ray Fitzsimons.Honoured to be in good company alongside painter Paul Galligan & writer Shane Connaughton here. No ladybirds were harmed in the making of this piece 🐞
"I don't believe that art has to have a mission or a purpose or another objective. It can just to be enjoyed" What a gorgeous piece - @CaffertyKim ❤️ youtube.com/watch?v=l7dm8iw1…

Despite sweeping statements from govt,birth partners are still outside in carparks all over the country while women go through all the various iterations & phases of birth alone. It’s just not good enough. @NiamhSmythTD @PaulineTullyTD @HHumphreysFG @BrendanSmithTD
