Heave-Ho hovers on the edge between history and geography — creating a narrative history. It delves historically into physical areas but not exclusively so. It excavates the crevices of memory, mapping and archiving individual versions of the same place and event but from different angles. Smudged and erased by time. A &D memory mapping process (where audio/visual “rambles” or tours were undertaken) attempts to trace what is remembered, but what remains forgotten can also be of interest! The re-collected stories told to me by the Kilkenny (Coan) Tug O’ War team circa 1970 create an archive — a memory monument linking the past, the present with the future as evident in the photograph of the “Coan Pulling Tree”.
