Field recording was undertaken for source material on the coast line surrounding Portstewart, Portrush, and the Giants Causeway. These places evoke memories that can be related to Maddrell and Sidaway’s exploration on memorial sites for the bereaved and deceased.

Mourning is an inherently spatial as well as temporal phenomenon, experienced in and expressed in/through corporeal and psychological spaces, virtual communities and physical sites of memorialisation…[these include] individual mappings of bereaved people’s experiences of significant spaces/places and how these change over time, how they are expressed through performance in space, written as corporeal, landscape or literary texts; and how these individual [and collective] emotional maps impact on particular places (Maddrell 2010: 123)
