Skibbereen's visual take on Irish words for menstruation and supernatural lights     

Clíatha Fís by William Bock, a phrase meaning 'wattles of knowledge'. 

An exhibition of photos is currently on display in public spaces and retail windows around Skibbereen, collecting pictures taken by residents and other photographers in response to writer Manchán Magan's book, Thirty-Two Words for Field.

The book, which digs up old Irish words and examines the relationship of the language to nature and humanity, served as an inspiration for a selection of work by a variety of photographers, seeking to interpret words and their meaning in a changing world.
