This publication completes the art-project 'Aggressive localism' + 'Trade-Off', launched in 2008 at the Dock Art Centre in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim as part of AFTER – “responding to a changed landscape”. Led by public reciprocity between the individual and I, this work created a temporary and unique community of people who signed up to an 'an agreement', which outlined their role and my responsibility to complete the project as stated in the agreement in the form of this publication. This modest offering is a visual record of this process and testifies to the power of the subjective act that re-affirms our relationship to people and a place whilst acknowledging the complexity of ecological systems that govern our planet.
