IN MEMORY

IN MEMORY’ A photograph I made in 2008 at the Electric Picnic Festival in Stradbally, Co.Laois Ireland.

American artist David Best spent 4 months creating the 55-foot wooden ‘Temple of Truth’ which at the end of the weekend was set on fire by the family of a young male who had taken his own life.  https://davidbesttemples.org/

I remember finding this artistic creation incredibly powerful, spiritual and cathartic in dealing with the loss of my brother Robert.

The kind, beautiful soul and creator of Electric Picnic John Reynolds honoured my pregnant wife and I at the time by inviting us to stay in one of the few luxury bivouacs on-site, as it was our 10th wedding anniversary.

Sadly John has since passed away.

In Loving Memory
RIP John
