On the  Ennis Street Festival in 2010 this great picture of me with Cata Isle Mime Theatre was taken by Cigala D’Or.

1.First get 2 garden hoses, and put one end on to a tap inside the house. I put mine on the one beside the washing machine. You can take an outside one of course as well, so long it is not too far away from your solar  box.

2.Make a gap between window and wall or any other to go outside.

3. entering the box on a flat roof. Do not lay them straight onto the tarmac, cause the hose melts into the tarmac than.

4. Lay the garden hose in nice loops, otherwise you get cold gaps.

5. Put your second hand windows over the box.

6. Back into the house and connect to the warm water pipe of your shower. close house warm water and open solar water. Now you can shower like normal .The hot will be so hot after 1 hour sun, that you have to open  your cold tap as well to get the right mix.

You can do this with one hose as well, what gives you more pressure but only a quick shower, meaning water off, when soaping in.

In the beginning it stinks very much after garden hose,  but that goes after a while. Happy free showering

Dun Aengus is a slow air inspired by my visit to the Arann Island Inis More.

Tune The Theatre is an other one of my compositions, which got its name when I played it as the first tune ever played in the new theatre on the official opening of Cultúrlann Sweeney, Kilkee.

Sketches of seals transforming into Selchie, part of a painting of the burning ship.

The Merman is 20 years old and just recently i decided he wasn’t finished. So he looks like this now. I need to only finish little details here and there and he can go and breath his own air.

4 stages of the Phoenix. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. I find the 4 elements in it as well with earth, water, fire and air.

A quite funny one between my so serious work. I called it “Freediving” and everybody liking the water can surely relate to it. I think the pattern of people develops conveniently.

The first set up of a figure in stone.I like particulary the 3 dimensional look of the leg .

For the children you find a full page illustrated book about fairies. As a thank you for sticking your head in the door, I have a present for you: There is a printable version of the celtic shaman art “Dragon” easy to download completely for free.

While you are there, you might want to have a look at all the updates on my official website as well. In the visual art section, you’ll find two films of work before the year 2000. There is a first entry into the projects with documentation from the “Search for the divine female project” and some quotes in the text section. Cata Isle Mime Theatre updates under mime with easy to download brochure, the Irish Times front page and more photos featuring the solo show premiere in Temple Bar.
