Henry Street

This is a pastel piece and I felt compelled to record the lockdown environment at Christmas in 2020. I enjoyed capturing the building from this perspective because of its juxtaposition with the more modernistic building peeping into view from the right, this building is a glazed tower that encases an external staircase on the exterior of The Church Bar and Restaurant.

In addition to recording the pandemic environment, more than anything I wanted to capture the beautiful building on Dublin’s Henry Street which is now home to retailer Pennys. This building is a corner-sited symmetrical multiple-bay four-storey department store over concealed basement, built 1902-5 with an ornate copper dome.
