The 43rd recipient of the Creatives Grant is Pádraig Ó Meiscill! Pádraig is a writer, he sent in a bunch of links to his work including a photo/prose piece and his substack. The photo/prose piece was about car parks as dead and abundant places. I thought it was amazing, the kind of writing about space and the world in a way that feels phenomenological but also alien, creative, real life but weird. I then got lost in his substack for about an hour, which was time well spent because Pádraig writes with this really beautiful dexterity. So precise, sharp, and gorgeous – poetry in the way sentences were lyrical. I found his work really aspirational and satisfying, I can’t wait for you to read it too and hopefully share my satisfaction, and I’m so glad we get to support his work in this small way.
