I travelled to many parts of the world looking for inspiration and materials and I was thought by an Italian craft worker. In Rome, art and sculpture are everywhere and this environment helped to create my unique designs, inspiring colour, choice of material and shapes.

Gerard Treacy, Master Glass Blower Gerard began his career with Waterford Crystal as an apprentice glass blower in 1979, aged 15. Within a year he moved on to ball glass blower. The skill of the Master Glass Blower combines tremendous dexterity and coordination of hands, breath and strength, especially with the larger items. In 1984, Gerard qualified as a glass blower and, three years later, became a Master Glass Blower. In a 32-year career at Waterford Crystal, he has worked on the entire range of Waterford crystal pieces, which include vases, wine glasses and champagne flutes. “I am a second-generation Waterford artisan,” said Treacy, who grew up a 10-minute walk from the Waterford, Ireland, crystal factory. “My father was a master crystal cutter for 45 years…The company built the houses on my street, so all of my friends and I worked at the factory when we were old enough,” In December 2011, Gerard Treacy will add his signature to the limited edition Ambassador bowls at the Waterford Wedgwood store at Silver Sands.

Noel Tracey of Dublin, Basket Weaving. [see daughter Ciúin Tracey and son Dubhaltach Tracey] Noel Tracey Baskets, The Craft Village, Dingle, Co. Kerry. Tel home : 066 9159994 Mobile : 087 9357213 ntraceybaskets@eircom.net Discipline : Basketry Objects : Baskets Functional and non functional Material : Willow Rush Price range of goods produced: Under €25 Over €250 Gives craft courses : Yes Artist statement: My personal objectives as a craftsperson/artist are, to produce the highest possible quality pieces whether contemporary or traditional. To learn from our inheritance of traditional basket making and to promote an appreciation of those skills by keeping the craft relevant while weaving the traditional into contemporary art pieces, also to pass on the skills to a new generation through teaching workshops. As my long term goal is to support my living solely through my art, I have a need to secure a suitable long term studio/workshop space. At present this is proving problematic, with exorbitant rents and inadequate space. I intend to further my traditional basket-making skills by attending workshops with master basket makers in Ireland and Europe. Finally as an intuitive artist, I would dearly love to have the opportunity to work with the internationally recognised artist Patrick Dougherty, who is known for large-scale sapling sculpture in urban settings in both Europe and America.

Brendan Tracey, ‘le punk’ wine maker, of New Jersey, California and Sainte-Anne, France Vigneron at Le Clocher Sainte-Anne. Brendan Tracey grew up in New Jersey and spent most of his youth in San Francisco. While in San Francisco, Brendan lived through the cultural revolution and soon developed a passion for music, following psychedelic bands, going to concerts at the Fillmore and gradually migrating to punk music. Brendan’s mother was originally from France, where he travelled to occasionally. To prefect his French, he moved in with his aunt Blois, at the age of 15, to attend high school where he passed his baccalauréat in 1974. During this time, he really started to fall in love with his mother’s native country, France. From 1975 to 1976, he studied Critique de Cinéma at Université Paris 3 - Sorbonne Nouvelle. In 1977, he moved back to California and joined several bands involved in California’s hard-core punk movement. Punk music worked well for Brendan, playing in opening bands for The Dead Kennedys, Black Flag and the Avengers. In 1980, having kept in contact with a high school friend from his years in France, he returned to France and married her, staying in France for good. He moved to Paris in 1981 to work as a DJ on a new radio station. After a career in radio spanning 27 years, he decided to throw it all in and study winemaking In 2009 he apprenticed with Loire Valley legend Thierry Puzelat who no doubt influenced his wines, as they are of minimal-intervention style. Based in Saint-Anne he makes a range of Vin de France wines in his garage from organically-farmed grapes. He does not grow his own grapes, but relies on a network of like-minded growers near his home in the Loire Valley’s northern reaches. Brendan has an uncanny skill in producing wines of esoteric drinkability that are an unfailing match for a sunny day spent outside. https://www.facebook.com/brendan.tracey2/ http://sensus.wine/brendan-tracey.html https://www.wineterroirs.com/2013/11/brendan_tracey_vendome_loire.html https://store.wrightsfood.co.uk/blogs/news/brendan

Fashion:

Philip Anthony Treacy, b. 26 May 1967 Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, son of the late James Vincent Treacy and Katie Agnes Treacy. His parents owned a baker’s shop in Ahascragh, Co. Galway. [see Philip Treacy] Philip began studying fashion in Dublin at the National College of Art & Design in 1985. He was more interested in making the hat than the outfit. This coincided with him winning, in 1988, a place on the Royal College of Art’s MA course. At the time the RCA was planning to establish a hat course and his arrival confirmed that they were right to do so. A star pupil from the outset, he soon gained the attention of the late great style icon, Isabella Blow. Their meeting was subsequently to become the subject of an exhibition at the Design Museum, ‘When Philip Met Isabella’. He graduated in 1990 and set up his own business in the basement of Isabella and her husband Detmar Blow’s home. Philip won the British Accessory Designer of the Year ‘Oscar’ in 1991, 1992 and 1993, and then again in 1996 and 1997. Irish Fashion Oscar 1992. Haut Couture Paris 2000. He has designed hats for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Valentino, Versace, Pucci, Alexander McQueen and most recently Ralph Lauren. In 2000, he made millinery history by staging his ‘Orchid’ collection of haute couture hats in Paris. Philip heads an international company which sells accessories all over the world. His design oeuvre has expanded to include handbags, gloves, a chair for Habitat and a sportswear line for Umbro. He has just completed the interiors for the G Hotel in Galway, west of Ireland and will soon begin work on the interior design of a new hotel in London’s Bow Street. On the 7 April 2006, he was conferred with a Degree of Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa, by the National University of Ireland. [link] On the 19^th of November 2007, at 40 years of age, he was awarded an honorary OBE for services to the British fashion industry by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at a ceremony in Clarence House. The Duchess is one of his most loyal customers and she wore one of his creations a metallic feathered ‘head-dress’ for her wedding in 2005. http://www.philiptreacy.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/OfficialPhilipTreacy https://twitter.com/PhilipTreacy1 In July 2010, six of Ireland’s leading contemporary fashion designers, including Philip Treacy, were honoured by An Post, with the national release of a series of six fashion stamps. http://www.anpost.ie/AnPost/News+and+Information/An+Post+Fashion+stamps+2010.htm In May 2013, he was granted an Honorary Fellowship by the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT). In May 2017 in Las Vegas, Philip Treacy wed his long-term partner, Stefan Bartlett, after more than 21 years together. 2023 Presidential Distinguished Service Awards, Ireland Books: Philip Treacy & Marion Hume (2015) Philip Treacy: Hat Designer.

Riona Treacy Belfast born fashion designer Riona Treacy, studied at the University of Ulster, achieving a first class honours in her BA in Fashion and Textile Design before progressing to an MA in Textile Material Product. Shortly after completing her masters in 2009, Riona moved to London where she undertook a 6 month internship, with world famous fashion house Alexander McQueen. Whilst on the embroidery team at McQueen, two of Riona's designs were used in the A/W 2010 Collection, Lee McQueen’s last ever collection with the fashion house, before his death. Riona then moved on to work as a full-time designer in the fashion industry, designing accessories for the Arcadia Group, ASOS and River Island, before branching out and focusing on her own, self-named label. Riona has since been involved with both Belfast’s Fall For Fashion and Belfast Rocks Fashion shows. Riona’s simplistic aesthetics paired with complex processes and engineered print designs make her pieces conceptual, wearable and feminine. All of Riona’s work is designed, printed and hand made in London. February 2019 she showed her first collection at London Fashion Week. http://rionatreacy.com/ https://twitter.com/rionatreacy#sthash.X3ae4tXM.dpuf Riona Treacy Interviewed By Hubbub - February 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEVEucnXCo8 Riona Treacy spring/summer 2020 collection presentation for LFW https://www.theupcoming.co.uk/2019/09/14/riona-treacy-spring-summer-2020-collection-presentation-lfw/

Sean Treacy (1924-1986) was born in 1924 in Galway City, where his father had a small business and his mother was a head teacher. He completed his education at St Jarlath’s College, much against his will. He joined the Irish Army Corps at the age of eighteen, becoming a pilot. [link] But after five years of flying he decided to become a publican in England. His first job was a learner-barman at the Goldhawk, Shepherd’s Bush. Within a year he was managing Finch’s King’s Arms in the Fulham Road, Chelsea. He stayed there for eight years before taking the tenancy of the Queen’s Elm, further up the Fulham Road. The Queen’s Elm was patronised by many famous people in the arts in the 60’s and 70’s. His first book, A Smell of Broken Glass, was published in 1973, followed by Shay Scally and Manny Wagstaff, in 1976. For generations one of London’s most famous watering holes was The Queen’s Elm on Fulham Road, Chelsea. The 20th century pub features in A Smell of Broken Glass, the 1973 memoir of its Galway-born landlord Sean Treacy - Laurie Lee kindly thought up the title. In Treacy’s day the walls were covered with original JAK cartoons and his collection of antique pipes. When Treacy died in 1986 the pub closed.

I have spent over 2,000 hours training and can make over 300 different models, I continue to build on my passion, learning new models every week. I have made over 60,000 Balloon Models in the last 18 months, and I’m only getting started. In October 2016 I accidentally auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent.

Anne-Marie Treacy, Lecturer in Music RWD B06, Music Department, University of Wolverhampton, Gorway Road, Walsall WS1 3BD, England. a.treacy@wlv.ac.uk Born into a musical family in Waterford, Ireland, I experienced an eclectic range of music during my formative years having attended everything from Waterford’s annual festival of Light Opera to “Spraoi”, a celebration of street music and art as well as traditional sessions of Irish music in pubs throughout Ireland. Along the way I also developed a keen interest in history. Currently I am working on French and English music c.1300-c.1450 analysing compositional style in the Old Hall Manuscript, Ms. Ivrea, and the Apt manuscript. I am also exploring issues of patronage and political commentary in the early poetry (pre- Canterbury Tales) of Geoffrey Chaucer and the music and poetry of Guillaume de Machaut including Le Remede de Fortune, and Le Jugement de Roi de Behaingne. Other interests include performance aspects of Medieval English Drama and I have worked specifically on the function of music in York 45: The Assumption of the Virgin. In addition, I have produced medieval plays for The Granary Theatre, University College Cork, including Fulgens and Lucres and Adam de la Halle’s Jeu de Robin et Marion. In addition, I am director of the University of Wolverhampton’s Early Music Ensemble, Réaltanna, which performs a repertoire of both instrumental and vocal music from the medieval and renaissance periods. Increasingly Réaltanna are also extending their repertoire to include both traditional Irish folktunes and compositions by contemporary Irish composers such as Michael McGlynn and Shaun Davey 1995.

The pride of Ballintubber, Co. Roscommon, The Premier Aces started their careers known as The Pioneers Aces as none of the band drank alcohol and all were members of The Total Abstinence Society. The band was put together, in part, by the late Peter Shanagher, who had been the leader of the Ivy Caste Dance Band, also based in Ballintubber. However, Peter emigrated to England in 1956 before the band hit the road and handed over the reins to Stephen Treacy and Paddy Malone. The original line up was: Paddy Malone (alto sax), Andy Malone (drums), Sonny Ward (tenor sax), Stephen Treacy (accordion) Liam Treacy (saxophone) and Mickey Slyman (vocals and trombone). Around 1960, the Treacy brothers (Stephen and Liam) decided to form their own band, The Rhythm Stars (also from Ballintubber) with three of their brothers, Aidan, Al and Sylvester. Pat Rock, showband era historian from Ballymahon, says the Rhythm Stars were unique in that there were seven brothers and one sister involved at one time or another. They were Stephen, Len, Al, Gerald, Aiden, Silvie, Liam (R.I.P.), and Millie Treacy. The full list of those who featured with the Rhythm Stars Showband from 1960 to 1974 includes the eight members of the Treacy family (mentioned earlier), Paul Lynch, Jimmy Raftery, Sean Raftery (R.I.P.), Jack Mulheir, Michael Clarke, Jimmy Diffley, P.J. Crane, John Dunne, Michael Keane, Dene Lane, Michael McDermott (R.I.P.) and Jimmy Kearney. Managers included Brendan Wallace, Billy Molloy (R.I.P.) and Stephen Treacy. In 1972, several ex-members of the Rhythm Stars formed a new version of The Premier Aces with local singer, Patsy McCaul out front. The lineup included Aidan (trumpet), Sylvie (accordion/keyboards/Guitar) and Al Treacy (drums), brothers of original Pioneer Aces, Liam (RIP) and Stephen. In the mid-1980s, Sylvie and Aiden played with the Brendan Shine band, Al played with the T.R. Dallas band, and Lyn played with a local group in Roscommon. Michael lived in Tubbercurry. Gerald Treacy owned a shoe shop in Swinford Mayo and Steve had was in the shoe trade in Castlerea. (3/9/1986 Connaught Telegraph) In 2003, memories of the the Rhythm Stars are alive and well with the release of a new CD. Copies of the CD were available from Stephen Treacy’s Sports Shop, Main Street, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon.

Charles Austin Tracy (born 1837 in Tullamore, Co Offaly died 1896 Waverley, NSW, Australia) the son of Patrick Tracy & Margaret E Slevin, organist, musician and composer 3 Oct 1896 Freeman's Journel (Sydney NSW) Death of a Catholic Musician The Late Charles Austin Tracy. A fine old gentleman, and an able musician, has passed away in the person of Mr. Charles Austin Tracy. Mr. Tracy died at his late residence, Waverley, on Sunday. He had suffered much, but the fervour of faith which sustained him all through life enabled him to prepare for the end in a perfect spirit of pious resignation. Some days previously he had received the Last Sacraments from the hands of his confessor, and only a few minutes before the summons came he had answered the Litany for the Dying, read at his request by one of his sons. He had no struggle, and an edifying life was fitly closed by a happy death. Mr. Tracy was born in Ireland, and he had reached his 58th year. He came of a musical family, and inherited high musical gifts. His father was a Doctor of Music, and his grandfather was also a musical professor. Mr. Tracy in turn reared a musical family in Australia. Two of his daughters are very accomplished musicians. One daughter, Mrs. George Brewer, is organist at the Sacred Heart Church, Randwick, and the other, Miss Mary Tracy, is organist at the church of St. Charles, Waverley. Mr. Tracy arrived in the colonies about 30 years ago, first settling in Victoria. He held the position of organist at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne, for 16 years, and was in the front rank of musicians in the southern capital. He came to New South Wales some nine years ago, and two positions he filled here were those of organist of the Catholic cathedral, West Maitland, for a period of three years, and organist of Goulburn Catholic cathedral for two years. He was the composer of several Benedictions and other church music. Mr. Tracy's last notable performance as an organist was at St. Mary's Cathedral during the Plenary Council of 1895. The funeral was on Monday. Mr. Joseph Tracy and Mr. Frank Tracy (sons of the deceased), Mr. George Brewer and Mr. Percy Shannon (relatives), were the chief mourners. Among others who attended were the Very Rev. P. B. Kennedy, O.S.F., Rev. Father Joyce, O.S.F., Rev. Father Gaynor, O.S.F., Rev. M. Tierney, M.S.H., Rev. Dr. Merg, M.S.H., Rev.

A. Barlow, C. Barlow, J. B. Despointes, Selwyn Lisle, R. Daly, and E. Finn. The prayers at the grave were read by the Very Rev. Father Kennedy and Fathers Joyce and Gaynor. Among a large number of floral tributes sent by friends was a magnificent wreath forwarded by the members of the choir of St. Charles' Church, Waverley - a choir in which the deceased gentleman took deep interest. Our Goulburn correspondent writes: - the announcement of the death of Mr. Charles Austin Tracy awakened kind though regretful recollections m Goulburn, where he had been organist in St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral- and Professor of Music at St. Patrick's College a few years ago. The sympathy of his friends in Goulburn goes to his family in their bereavement.       Laudate dominum de coelis, Ps.

Dan Treacy, post-punk singer-songwriter of Chelsea London The Television Personalities (TVPs) were an English post-punk band formed in 1977 by London singer-songwriter Dan Treacy. Their varied, volatile and long career encompasses post punk, neo-psychedelia and indie pop; the only constant being Treacy's deadpan lyrics and deliberately amateurish musical style. Though never a great commercial success, The Television Personalities, and their leading light Daniel Treacy are spoken of in reverential tones by all of those familiar with their work. The term genius is bandied around all too casually in the wacky world of pop, but in this case it barely does this band's simple but beautiful songs, sometimes deeply poignant, occasionally angry, from time to time hilarious and always truthful, justice. Daniel sustained a serious brain injury in 2011 and is for now receiving full time residential care. Daniel J Treacy was born in 1960 Fulham road Chelsea, the son of Daniel Treacy married Pamela M Hill, married 1947 Kensington, London, England. His sister Patricia Ann Treacy was born in 1949 Chelsea and married Allan R Mellars in 1968 Kensington, London. His other sister Christine M Treacy was born 1951 Chelsea, London.

Des Tracy Trio & Quartet

The Tracy Family of Clones, Co. Monaghan are now in the band business, providing Ceili music all over the republic. The band was founded and is managed by 21 year old Des Tracy who plays the piano accordion. His 23 year old brother Paddy is in charge of the drums while their sister Ena, aged 20, performs on the piano and accordion. Des has given up his job as a garage mechanic. Ena is a drapers assistant and Paddy is a cinema projectionist. (1955 Irish Times)

From the mid 1950’s the famous “Des Tracy Trio” from Clones were one of the most popular dance bands in this north midlands area from the mid fifties until the era of the dance hall craze faded out some years ago. The trio then were Des (center), his late sister Ena (RIP) on piano and the late Dominic Monaghan (RIP) on drums. They were all from Clones but Des Tracy was born in Arva but his family moved to Clones where Des and Ena grew up and Des lived most of his working life there while working in Northern Ireland as a company representative. Des later moved to Kingscourt where he lived and spent the remainder of his working life and was a very popular musician playing solo in the adjoining parts of the counties of Cavan, Meath and Monaghan. Des has been a lifelong friend of mine [Bailieboro News] from when he played at the first dance that I ‘took the floor’ at (and walked on girls toes). We were in the FCA together since the early fifties and we were both army drivers of the old Ford V8 FCA station wagons. Des was a driver of the Monaghan Batt, station wagon and I was a driver of the East Cavan Batt. Station wagon.

In December 2013, After many requests from his friends and family, Des Tracey has finally got down and recorded his first CD of accordion music, titled “My Kind of Music.”

Ernest William Sibbald Treacy My Grandfather was Ernest William Sibbald Treacy was married to Evelyn May Hester (Morris) 25th August 1920 Belfast, Northern Ireland. Some of his family lived in Hollywood, Northern Ireland. Ernest’s Father was from Southern Ireland his name was known as Sam and his wife Elizabeth. I have heard Wicklow, Carlow he could have come from anywhere LOL. But Sam and Elizabeth eloped to Northern Ireland and married and he was a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. I remember him when I was young and I am trying to find out more about his family. I have all the information on his wives and children. I am just trying to find out about his brothers and sisters and where they came from originally in Ireland. I myself was born in Ireland but later and I am living in the USA now. Ernest was the band leader of Sibbald Treacy’s Rhythm Kings in Northern Ireland and played for the BBC. He also played the piano. I would like to hear from anyone that knew him or may have any of his sheet music. I remember as a child seeing all his sheet music with his picture on the front of it and visiting him when he lived on the Antrim Road in Belfast where there was a plaque outside the front door that read Musical Director Sibbald Treacy Lives or lived here. I am not sure if it is still there or not. Thanks, Rosemary Foffee3@Aol.com April 12th, 2008 15 Aug 1930, Radio Times vol. 28 no. 359, p. 365 The afternoon concert on Friday, August 29, will be provided by the Trocadero Sextet, directed by E.W. Sibbald Treacy, and relayed from the Trocadero Restaurant, Portrush. Besides being musical director of the sextet, Mr. Treacy is responsible for the dance band at the Northern Counties Hotel in this County Antrim seaside resort. His interest in dance music began when he visited America eight years ago and came into contact with Schneider’s band in New York and Pennsylvania. Shortly after this he completed a tour through Europe with an American band, and the experience gained in this direction has been made full use of by Mr. Treacy, with the result that his sextet has proved itself the finest café orchestra in the Province. An idea of the strength of the combination can be gleaned from the fact that it contains such artists as Randolph Booth (violoncello), whose solos were at one time a feature of the Regent Cinema, Sheffield; and Jack Glover, who has earned a high reputation in the dance world.

John Treacy, bass guitarist, of Naas Co. Kildare. John Treacy is a songwriter, singer, guitarist, and more often than not bass player with The Whole Hog Band, direct out of Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland. What’s the last thing most people want to hear from the bass player? - “Do you want to hear my new songs..??” Well, guess what, - despite many decades of performing and recording on the Irish Music scene, this six track EP features brand new self penned music in the pop/rock/country vein, with a medium rare frisson of retro. Still The Same Girl tells of loves, losses, situations, and some of the various characters encountered along the way. It is his debut solo offering, and he’d like you to turn it up loud, and give it a good solid listening to!! Phil Lynnot - probably the best songwriter in the world.. was a bass player too, y’know..? - and there the comparison ends unfortunately :) Former bands include 'Diviners', 'The Secret Life" & "The Quest". https://www.facebook.com/tresmeister https://www.irishrock.org/irodb/bands/secretlife.html

The Avondhu 1980's

Mick Treacy, folk musician, of Mitchelstown Co. Cork Mick came to folk music through listening to The Weavers , Delia Murphy, Joe Lynch, Connie Foley and the one and only Margaret Barry in the fifties and then the Skiffle movement in Britain which was spearheaded by Ken Colyer one of the leading exponents of the Classic New Orleans Jazz style in Britain. The revival of interest in Folk song and music happened to coincide with this outbreak of people’s music making and before long there was a natural fusion which led to Skiffle groups becoming Folk Groups like The Ian Campbell group in Birmingham or The Quarrymen from Liverpool becoming the Beatles. Mick went to England in late 1960 became part of the whole folk revival first listening and learning from Ewan McColl, Bob Davenport, Alex Campbell, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot and many more. By 1964 he was singing in Birmingham Town Hall in a fund raising concert for West Midlands Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and later joined an Irish Group called ‘The Munstermen’. This lead in turn to the founding of ‘The Holyground Folk Club’ which had three glorious years and hosted many of the world’s great folk artistes. In 1967 he came to Dublin and sang in most of the venues of the day The Embankment, The Castle Inn, The Old Sheiling and many of the local Folk Clubs before returning to his native Mitchelstown where he settled down, got married and raised a family. He has always had an interest in the songs of the working people collecting many down through the years. He feels privileged to have shared the platform and stage with many pacifist and socialist poets, writers, singers and performers who shared his dreams. There was ‘a distinguished and representative gathering’ at the official launch at Murphy’s Brewery, Cork in March 1997, of folk enthusiast Mick Treacy’s album, ‘A Folk Anthology’. Featuring some wonderful tracks, including ‘Irene Goodnight’, ‘Wild Colonial Boy’ and ‘Manchester Rambler’, the album was the idea of Mitchelstown’s Liam Cusack, who firmly believed ‘the work and talents of people such as Mick Treacy should be recorded for posterity’. Hollywood star Oliver Reed was amongst those in attendance, adding ‘a wonderful sense of excitement to the whole affair’. Very much a local production, the album recording took place at Studio Fiona, Fermoy, with Mike Cullen Ahern as producer. Ref: https://motherjonescork.com https://avondhupress.ie

Paddy Treacy of Galway; All-Ireland Senior Flute (Feadóg Mhór) Champion 1951, 1952, 1964. Set Dancing News Old news and reviews - Volume 4 - 1999 That's what life is all about Dear Bill I teach set dancing for the past fifteen years and my husband is Paddy Treacy, the well known flute player from Galway. He comes from Cappatagle, a few miles west of Ballinasloe. A lot of good musicians came from there. When Paddy moved to Dublin he went to the Pipers Club in Thomas Street where he met Leo Rowsome, Willie Clancy, Bobby Casey, Séan Seery, Kathleen Harrington, Sonny Brogan, John Joe Gannon, Paddy O'Brien and lots more. He joined the Kincora Ceili Band and J J Gannon and Bobby Casey. They played all over the country and would be away every Sunday night. During this period he played in the Oireachtas flute competition representing the Pipers Club. He got first three times and in 1956 he won the Oireachtas Gold Medal receiving full marks which meant he couldn't enter any more. He won first in the first and second Fleadhs. He gave up playing with the Kincora as we had been married by then and had a young family and Paddy didn't want to be away from home. A few years later Paddy O'Brien returned from America and started the Lough Gowna Ceili Band so Paddy was asked to join. They broadcast regularly and played in the Oireachtas band competition and won three times. About fifteen years ago he started the Sheelin Ceili Band with Seamus Meehan, Phil McMahon, F De Bruen and A Vaughan, Paddy playing the C melody sax as well as the flute. He packed up the band a year ago and just plays for set dancers in the Merchant Bar every Wednesday. He has been there for the past eleven years. You might think that was near the end of the music. No way, we have an open house with every flute player in Dublin coming to play music. Great fun, lovely friends and that's what life is all about. Of course Paddy being from Galway he has been set dancing since he was a kid and enjoys coming to my classes and ceili with me. We have a wonderful life and wonderful friends thanks to Paddy's music and being involved in set dancing. I am enclosing a photo of Paddy taken last Christmas. Hope you find this of some interest. Yours sincerely, Kaye Treacy, Terenure, Dublin http://www.setdancingnews.net/news/oldnews4.lp I am sorry to say that the great east Galway flute player, Paddy Treacy, passed away on Wednesday the 10th of September. Paddy was a member of the Aughrim Slopes Ceili Band along with Paddy Fahy, Paddy Kelly, Paddy Carthy, Paddy O’Brien, Joe Mills and George Shanley. He won the inaugural flute competition at the All Ireland Fleadh Ceoil in 1951 and again in 1954. He did not enter this competition again until 1964 and again took first place. He was awarded a gold medal for achieving 100% marks for his performance in the Oireachtas competition of 1956. After moving to Dublin in the late 1940s Paddy played with many ceili bands including the Kincora, Lough Gowna, St Patrick’s and Sheelin, and made many recordings for radio and television with these bands over the years. Paddy was a very gracious and generous man and he was an inspiration to his many pupils, including all of my own family, over the years. I am glad to say that Paddy continued playing, teaching and enjoying music right up to the very last days of his illness. Paddy is survived by his beloved wife Kaye, son David, daughter Jean and brothers Marty, Sonny, Tom Joe and Willie. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. Le gach dea ghuí, Paul McGrattan, Dublin 7 http://www.setdancingnews.net/news/onews51.lp

He came down from Derry & played at my folk club - The Black Nun - here in Ballycastle, a few years ago, & I couldn’t believe how well he was playing. Being back home certainly suits him. He is a master of the complex staccato bow style. http://thesession.org/recordings/283 http://www.donegalfiddlemusic.ie/sound-1.htm Peter Treacy of Derry city began as an orchestral player at school and was influenced by sound recordings, especially those of Johnny Doherty, to take up the music of the neighbouring county [Donegal]. As well as being a soloist, he is a session player. He is especially influenced by the older players of the Carrick and Teelin areas. He does not a family background in music. He does not play in competitions, and is motivated by an interest in the music and in improving his own playing. His repertory largely consists of reels , many of them only associated with Donegal, but at the meeting also played jigs, strathspeys and other Scottish music, and tunes for special dances such as 'Shoe the donkey'.

It was all I ever did when I was young. I played it, watched it on TV, listened to it on the radio, and read about it in books and the paper. My playing career was tragically cut short though, through my lack of skills and basic coordination. Journalism became the next stop. “When I graduate this year, becoming a sports guy, whether it is in print or broadcast, is all I want to do. But more than that, I’d like to have the chance to do it in Ireland. I’m not holding my breath though. I’m continuing to apply to as many places as I can, but if nothing comes of it by the summer, I may have to go back to the drawing board. “But whether my future lies at home or abroad, I know for certain that I want to be a sports guy.” University of Limerick 2008-2012 Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Journalism and New Media

Stage and Film:

Billy Ruge, Bert Tracy, Rae Godfrey & Oliver Hardy in Hungry Hearts (1916)

Bert (Francis Hubert) Tracey (1878-1967?), actor and director, of Manchester England whose family came from Galway [see Galway] Bert Tracey/Tracy was a film actor from 1913 to 1948. He also directed the film, "Boots! Boots!" in 1934 which marked the film debut of George Formby as an adult. He was educated at St. Bede's College; at a mere 5'2", his first career was as a jockey. After stage and musical comedy experience, in 1912 he travelled to New York and began appearing in American films for Kalem, and ended up working for Lubin in Jacksonville, Florida. There he became good friends with Oliver Hardy; both of them moved in 1916 to the Vim Co., where tracy not only acted, but also wrote scenarios and served as assistant director. After Vim folded, Tracy remained in the Jacksonville area for a time, turning up in little independent comedies. In 1917, he stated he was an actor with the Myers Theby Comedy Co. With Glen Lambert, he wrote and directed for Klutho's Sunbeam Comedies. In 1923, Fred Swanton, already a familiar figure on the Santa Cruz film scene in California, succeeded in bringing two studios to the Boardwalk. Tracy Productions, headed by comic actor Bert Tracy, was described by Preston Sawyer in an "Evening News" article as "an unassuming, yet energetic and progressive, newly-formed moving picture producing company" (August 25, 1923). Located in the Casino building, Tracy Productions employed a crew of Hollywood-experienced technicians and players to create a series of comedies which were released under the brand name "Lightening Comedies." Later he returned England and leaving show business, he remained in touch with Oliver Hardy. He met up with Laurel & Hardy during their 1932 tour of Britain. A 1933 still shows Laurel and Hardy with studio head Blakely and comedian Bert Tracey who had gone to America with Chaplin and Laurel with the Fred Karno Company, and worked in American silent comedy before returning to Manchester in 1927. Twenty years later when he was out of work, "The Boys" took him on as a dresser for their 1952 music hall tour. Eduardi Tracy & Mariae Rourke Franciscus Herbertus Tracy b. 16/17 Jun 1878 Sp.

John James (Jack) (Snuffy) Tracey (1897 – 1978), of Dublin or Wicklow, burlesque comedian and musician. [Jack Tracy]

February 14, 1939 Denison Press (Denison, Tex.)

Lee (William Lee) Tracy (1898-1968) actor, whose family came from Omagh Co. Tyrone. Rangy, red-headed and straightforward to the bone while possessing distinctively adenoidal vocal tones, this actor with a voracious appetite for high living was a fine cinematic representation of the racy and race-paced style of pre-Code Hollywood. Lee Tracy patented with peerless skill the lightning rod timing and machine gun delivery so identified with that period and would have continued on handsomely in films had severe typecasting, a hair-trigger temper and a notoriously reckless off-camera life not gotten the best of him. William Lee Tracy was born on Thursday, April 14, 1898, in Atlanta, Georgia, to William Lindsay Tracy and Rachel Griffith Tracy. His father was general superintendent of motive power for railways including the Lehigh Valley Railroad and his mother was a former schoolteacher. He studied engineering at Union College 1918, but his interest in dramatics led to him joining a theatrical company upon graduation. World War I interrupted his budding dramatic career, he graduated from Western Military Academy and served in World War I as a second lieutenant. Upon his discharge from the Army he abandoned the stage for a job as a U.S. Treasury Agent. But the lure of the theatre proved too strong and after only two years, Tracy bid goodbye to the Treasury and split his time between vaudeville and touring stock companies. He made his Broadway stage debut in The Showoff in 1924, and in 1926 he hit stardom in George Abbott’s production of Broadway, as a song-and-dance man, receiving the New York Drama Critics Award. In 1928, he played his most famous stage role, that of fast-talking newspaperman Hildy Johnson in Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht’s mammoth hit, The Front Page. (Unfortunately, when the film version was made in 1931, Tracy was overlooked in favor of Pat O’Brien.) Fox Studios signed him in 1929, and Tracy made his starring debut with Mae Clarke in Big Time. Directed by Kenneth Hawks, brother of Howard, the film was a take on the “A Star is Born” formula with Tracy as a self-centered vaudevillian comic, and Clarke as an upcoming singer-dancer. He followed this with the gangster drama Born Reckless (1930), in which he played the first of his Walter Winchell-based, staccato-talking characters. In Liliom (1930) he was “the Buzzard,” the scheming friend to Charles Farrell’s titular carnival barker, and in the Tiffany Studios comedy She Got What She Wanted (1930), as Eddie, the unreliable vaudeville hoofer boyfriend of star Betty Compson. Tracy then impulsively abandoned Hollywood to return to Broadway, appearing in Oh, Promise Me in 1930, and Louder Please in 1931. But Hollywood still wanted him, and when he returned in 1932, it was in the employ of Warner Bros. Once again he played a fast-talking newspaperman in his WB debut, The Strange Love of Molly Louvain, co-starring with Ann Dvorak. He followed it was another newspaperman role in William Wellman’s Love is a Racket, and again as a reporter in Michael Curtiz’s gothic horror opus, Doctor X. He rounded out 1932 for Warner’s as the cynical scandal-seeking columnist in Blessed Event. Tracy then did a little freelancing, playing a freshman Congressman out to rid Washington of corruption in Washington Merry-Go-Round (1932) for Columbia, a seedy barker who transforms sideshow dancer Lupe Velez into a Broadway sensation in the ribald The Half Naked Truth, for RKO (1932), and Private Jones for Universal in 1933. By this time Tracy had earned a reputation as an excellent actor, albeit one with a hair-trigger temper and a pronounced carousing and heavy drinking habit. Nevertheless, MGM signed him to a long-term contract with a substantial pay raise in 1933. He scored critical and profitable turns in such films as Clear All Wires! (1933), The Nuisance (1933), Turn Back the Clock (1933), Advice to the Lovelorn (1933), the MGM star-studded ensemble classic Dinner at Eight (1933), and the Jean Harlow vehicle Bombshell (1933). With each picture as popular or more so than the last, it seemed as if the sky was the limit for Tracy’s talent. However, Tracy had forged a solid reputation with his heavy drinking and unrestrained nightlife, which led to increased absences from the set. It all came to a head in 1933 with an incident that derailed Tracy’s career. During the filming of MGM’s Viva Villa in Mexico City, Tracy was arrested for allegedly urinating on a group of Mexican soldiers and getting into fisticuffs with the arresting officers. Tracy claimed the he was urinating into a steel grate, and several members of the film crew stated that the incident didn’t unfold as the Mexican authorities claimed. Nevertheless, MGM felt compelled to issue an apology to the Mexican government. They also cancelled his five-year contract, citing the morals clause. As Tracy was a heavy drinker offstage, the studio had weight on their side. With no other studio bidding for his exclusive services, Tracy turned to freelancing, but as the years went on, the quality of his films declined. On the 20 July 1938 at Yuma Arizona, Lee Tracy married Mrs. Helen Thomas Wyse, an attractive San Francisco divorcee, , whom he met when she called to sell him an insurance policy on his yacht. They gave their ages as 40 years and 26 years respectively. They intend to spend a honeymoon of nine months hi England. In London, he was to appear in the play "Idiot's Delight". When the U.S. got involved in World War II, he went back into the army, where he did intelligence work for two years. With his last postwar film at the time being High Tide, Tracy's looks had hardened dramatically and he looked at TV being a possible medium for his talents. Throughout the '50s and early '60s, he appeared on a number of shows, including "Kraft Television Theatre", "Wagon Train" and "Ben Casey". He also took on series leads, such as The Amazing Mr. Malone, Martin Kane, Private Eye, and New York Confidential. And there was always the stage. Tracy's last hurrah, both on Broadway and in film, was Gore Vidal's blistering political drama The Best Man. Recreating his 1961 Tony-nominated role of the crusty, terminally ill U.S. president, he received his only Oscar nod for this standout part. He reprised the role in film in 1964, and was nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor. The rest of his working years went by with less distinction. In the summer of 1968 he was diagnosed with liver cancer and succumbed to the illness on October 18 of that year in a Santa Monica hospital and was survived by his wife of 30 years, Helen Thomas Wyse.

At the time RTE were casting for the role of Biddy and Miley's baby (screen) daughter. Her mum brought her in for an audition and that was that.  Bláthnaid, or Bláth, continued in the part of ‘Denise’ for the next thirteen years but was happy to step out of the limelight when the show ended in 2001.  In 2006 she went on to study Archaeology and Modern Irish in U.C.D.  However, on completing her degree she decided to pursue a career in television once again, this time seeking a role behind the camera.  She spent a year studying TV and Film Production and with only days left in here course, she came across a job advertisement for the new face of 'Ó Tholg go Tolg' on TG4. The pioneering travel show returns in 2013 in which two intrepid Irishwomen, Bláthnaid Treacy and camerawoman Laura O'Connell, couch-surf their way across Europe.

I'm the youngest of six and I have four brothers and one sister.  My earliest memory is playing in the garden with them at my parents' house when I was small. During the summer we all would just be killing each other in the back garden with our bikes and scooters and all sorts of things.  I have ten nieces and nephews now. My mum and dad are still in Bray so I haven't gotten to see them a lot recently because I live in Dublin and I've been driving down to Cork to do the Today Show. I've been living in Dublin for the past seven years and we actually just bought a house in Stoneybatter. It's a great little spot. It's really keeping us occupied. We're putting together little Pinterest boards for decorating it and doing things like that.  https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/people/arid-40258760.html "On The Cusp" Short Documentary by Blathnaid Treacy.

Tony Tracy, Course Director, Huston School of Film & Digital Media, NUI Galway http://www.nuigalway.ie/our-research/people/humanities/tonytracy/ http://www.nuigalway.ie/mooreinstitute/site/view/992/ Before coming to NUI Galway, I was involved with film and film education in a variety of roles and contexts. After graduating as a secondary-school teacher I spent several years teaching at international schools in Japan, Paris and New York and began including film in my curricula. In New York I also worked on a number of independent films and then for Miramax Films (International) before returning to Ireland to work in a number of capacities in film production and film culture. I was senior education officer at the Irish Film Institute from 1996-2000 and central to the development of a pioneering film education programme for second-level students that included the introduction of film in the Leaving Certificate English curriculum. I spent several years developing and delivering teacher training programmes for the IFI and Department of Education and have continued to offer workshops and write study materials for use with school students. Alongside my academic research and teaching I remain passionately involved with the development of film culture in the public sphere as a director of the Fresh Film Festival (www.freshfilmfestival.net), through frequent guest lectures, school visits and public interviews, and as a regular radio broadcaster.

Walter Valentine Tracy (1914-1995), typographer, whose family came from Ireland. He was born on St Valentine's Day, 14 February 1914 in Islington, London, the son of Walter Tracy (1882-1938), a seaman in the Royal Navy. His mother, Anne Nunn (1883-1984), worked as a leather machinist before her marriage in 1909. Walter was the elder of two children: his sister, Rose Ann Tracy was born in 1917. In his own words, ''We were of the London working class, poor but respectable - an important word in those days.'' Walter Tracy started his professional life as a compositor, and ended as a type designer of distinction; in 1973 he was made a Royal Designer for Industry. His speciality was typefaces designed for newspapers. At the age of 12 he entered the printing department of the Central School of Arts & Crafts, who arranged an apprenticeship for him in the great printing firm of William Clowes, to date from his 14th birthday. In the school, he was made to spend hours drawing the letter-forms of Caslon (one of the most popular book faces), not by tracing but by copying them detail by detail. To a 14 year-old schoolboy nothing could have been more boring, and he developed a deep hatred of the face which lasted for years. He left Clowes as a fully fledged compositor in 1935 and then had varied experience in printing and advertising until, in 1946, he was offered a part-time job by James Shand, "the man who had most influence in my life". Shand was by profession a printer; he was also a writer, an able designer who could not draw a line, and a man of cultivation and taste. Tracy wrote of him: "His influence on me was strong. My mind expanded (and not before time: after all, I was in my thirties), and I began to take a serious interest in the history and aesthetics of printing, to acquire books on the subject, and to form opinions - and even to learn when to change them." Shand had before 1939 started a typographical periodical for the Linotype Company of Great Britain, called Linotype Matrix. He now asked Tracy to edit and design it, which he did with great credit for some 10 years. In 1947 Tracy was appointed as manager of typeface development: while there his technical knowledge and experience made him time and again a better designer than the professional "artists". One of his most notable achievements was Jubilee, a face required to replace the famous Times Roman, whose matrices (the moulds from which type is cast) were found continually to need renewal, their side-walls being unusually thin and vulnerable. Jubilee was introduced in 1953, and used by a fair number of newspapers - but not by the Times. Tracy worked for the Times later. In 1965 he was asked by Francis Mathew, the manager of the Times, to leave Linotype and join the newspaper's staff as its designer, full-time. Tracy, after also being interviewed by Stanley Morison, the father-figure of Times typography, accepted the invitation, but at the last moment Mathew died suddenly of a heart attack; his successor, George Pope, thought that the new appointment was not a good idea and that it would be better for Tracy to work for the Times while still at Linotype; which Tracy did. A redesigned Times appeared in 1966, but it did not last long, as the newspaper soon changed hands and, in Tracy's own modest words, "new people changed the style and content of the pages - for the better, I think". Tracy also designed a new face, Telegraph Modern, in 1969, for the Daily Telegraph, who wanted a face for their exclusive use; and he then designed Times Europa, which was introduced into the Times on 9 October 1972 to replace Morison's Times Roman, a week after the 40th anniversary of that typeface's first appearance. Tracy's position as leading typeface designer for newspapers was now plain for all to see. The Sunday Times began using the new face a year or so later. Tracy also designed two important faces for classified advertisements, Adsans and Maximus. In addition he was involved in making Arabic faces for Linotype composition, which he could do by learning the alphabet and the numerous ligatures that are a feature of Arabic typesetting - without having to learn the language. Walter Tracy, slight in build, with an alert and humorous face, had an incisive mind and was deeply kind and honest, always ready to help those who asked for his advice. He dispensed that, too, in two excellent and modest books written in his retirement, Letters of Credit: a view of type design (1986) and The Typographic Scene (1988). "For my own part," he wrote in an introduction to the former, "I take the view that typography, like most other sorts of designing, is essentially a means to an end; and the end is not the self-satisfaction of the designer but the contribution he or she makes to the effectiveness of whatever is presented to the public."

John Joseph Tracey (1813-1873) Painter of Classical Subjects and Irish Scenes

http://traceyclann.com/files/John Joseph Tracey.htm

Liam Treacy (1934-2004), was a Wicklow artist who had been painting in an impressionist style since the 1950s. He was born in Avoca, Co. Wicklow, where his family have been settled for many generations, the son of James Treacy, a postman, and Ellen O’Neill, daughter of a local copper miner, John O’Neill. Liam is the second youngest of their family of four sons and two daughters. During his primary school days, he was very interested in drawing, influenced by his brother Sean, a postman and keen artist. He exhibited regularly with the James Gallery, Dalkey, and had participated in a wide range of group shows including the annual RHA exhibitions and the Wexford Opera Festival. In 1978 Liam Treacy went full-time as a professional painter, a courageous step, and the fact that he had made a career of it is testimony to the sheer quality of his work as an artist. Before going professional, he worked in the former Brennan's Bakery in Arklow, which used his skill as an artist to paint the lettering on its vans. Liam says, “By the mid-seventies, I was doing very well, but because we had three young children, Adrienne, Fiona and Darragh, I was reluctant to give up my day job at the Bakery. However the decision was made for me. I was made redundant”. The redundancy came in 1978, which can be looked back upon as the year Liam became a full-time professional artist. For many years he was an art teacher for night-time classes in Arklow Community College, Abbey Community College, Wicklow; and at Shelton open detention centre art classes for the prisoners. A good selection of his paintings can be seen at: http://www.whytes.ie/4ArchivesResult.asp?Search=treacy&submit.x=6&submit.y=9 Ref: http://www.treacyprints.com/About.aspx
Darragh Treacy was born and raised just outside Avoca, Co. Wicklow. Darragh is predominately self taught and favours the use of oils with an impressionist style. He has studied under such artists as American artist Valerie Craig as well as Phelim and Caroline Donfield. While finding inspiration and influence from many different painters it is probably Darragh’s late father, Liam Treacy, that most influences and inspires Darragh’s work. Spending time painting on location with his father as a child gave Darragh his earliest experience of painting “en plein air”, something he still enjoys today whenever the opportunity arises. Darragh’s subject matter is varied and includes still-life, landscapes and street scenes. Darragh works as a designer and his work has brought him much critical acclaim and numerous awards from the Institute of Designers of Ireland, including for set design of The Late Late Show [see above]. http://darraghtreacy.com/ https://www.facebook.com/DarraghTreacy73/ http://dublinpaintingandsketchingclub.ie/artists/darragh-treacy/

Education:

1989 DIT School of Art, Dublin, Diploma in Painting.

1997 University of Ulster, Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art Painting.

Notes:

Treacy drew inspiration from traditional techniques which he applied in a contemporary context. His paintings were constantly worked and reworked in order to produce a density of pigment. Treacy was influenced by many painters and writers including Hans Holbein, Pieter Brueghel and Patrick Kavanagh. He taught art for a number of years in schools in Dublin before joining the Office of Public Works. He exhibited in numerous group shows and was commissioned to complete a variety of Drawing, Painting and Design work for both commercial and private collectors. File contains a catalogue with images of the artists work.

2005 Annual Report Office of Public Works

There was also a poignant but attractive Retrospective Exhibition of paintings in May by the late Tony Treacy (1968-2004) who was formerly on the staff of OPW. Many of the paintings were sold afterwards by the artist's family and the entire proceeds were donated to charity.

Jun 1, 2005 Irish Times

Last week a small retrospective devoted to the work of Tony Treacy, who died last year, occupied the Atrium Gallery at the OPW on St Stephen's Green. It was a good tribute and it revealed an artist of great sensitivity and forceful insight, a self-critical talent edgily determined not to do the easy or obvious thing.

Treacy was born in 1968 and studied painting at the College of Marketing and Design in Dublin and later at the University of Ulster in Belfast. Apart from pursuing his own work, he taught part-time and, from 1999, was a clerical officer with the OPW.

It seems fair to assume that he was at some stage a student of Patrick Graham in Dublin. Graham opened the exhibition and his influence is evident in Treacy's work, which nevertheless has a strongly individual character. He shares Graham's respect for drawing, his trust in what might be termed emotional instinct and his wariness of facility. The textural distinction between his drawings and paintings is immediately striking.

Many of the drawings are meticulous tonal studies, precise, fine-grained images built up incrementally. In some cases their smooth, seamless surfaces are cut by odd, unsettling disjunctures and elisions. They refer to photographs, including a childhood snapshot, and art historical sources. Generally the paintings are more roughly textured, built up through a process of attrition, hard-won. As a note in the catalogue observes, this pattern of "scraping away and rebuilding" complements but never contradicts the more additive, considered nature of the drawings.

The paintings on view are also small in scale, and have a conversational intimacy about them. He worked consistently, even obsessively, in terms of variations on a relatively small number of themes including, particularly, self-portraiture and memento mori still life subjects.

In both of these areas he came up with some exceptional pieces. A concern with making a stage-like space also comes across strongly in these and other paintings, including the buildings in his series of city studies: a theatre of the imagination. It is a pity to encounter work that has so much to offer in this way as a posthumous retrospective.

Valerie Treacy

Valerie Treacy is primarily a still life painter in the medium of oil, though she is also known for her delicate watercolour work. Her light, still life paintings are almost ethereal in quality. A graduate in Fine Art from the Crawford Municipal School of Art in Cork, she subsequently spent twenty years teaching art before returning to her own work in a studio in Killarney, on a fulltime basis.

The Victor Treacy Award
The Victor Treacy Award, which began as a putative one-off in 1991 became an annual event. A personal initiative on the part of Victor and Rachel Treacy (he is a businessman and Art Collector, based near Muine Bheag, Carlow, and she is on the board of the Butler Gallery). With the co-operation of the Butler, the selection process serves as the basis for an exhibition of work by short-listed artists. The short list is drawn up by three invited selectors who each contribute the names of three artists. The aim is to achieve a broad geographical spread and, perhaps, a diversity of type. Given such a procedure, it is inevitably a fragmented show, but that is not necessarily a drawback, particularly given the Butler's sequential floor plan. The Award, which started at £1,500, is directed at younger artists, to help in some way towards materials or equipment. The exhibition is also a significant indicator of artistic practice of emerging artists. It was an important exhibition in the national visual art programme. The winners were: 1991 T.J. Maher, 1992 Morgan Doyle, 1993 Clodagh Redden, 1994 Rebecca Peart, 1996 Tom Climent, 1998 Gerard Byrne, 1997 Rosie McGurran, In 2002, the award was a cash prize of €2,600 and the winner was Jesse Jones.

Ciúin Tracey, of Dublin and Tralee Co. Kerry, photographer. [see father Noel Tracey and brother Dubhaltach Tracey] Ciúin Tracey is a freelance photographer who works mainly in fashion and commercial photography, with these genres influencing heavily upon her more personal fine art work. She has exhibited work in many galleries, including The Gallery of Photography, the RDS and Farmleigh House. She has also been printed in multiple publications, and is currently the resident photographer in Shutterbug, Kilkenny. Her work can be seen in the permanent collections of Olivier Cornet, Fire and Dublin Ink. She is interested in using the techniques gained through fashion and studio photography, to create photographic series that explore the person’s relationship with their bodies in relation to the ideals set forth by modern media stereotypes. Tracey is currently working on an expansion of her graduation series entitled The Tyranny of Beauty. The Tyranny of Beauty is a photographic narrative that explores the representation of the body and the psychological impact of the promotion of certain physical ideals in the contemporary media sphere. The series examines peoples’ relationships with their physical being and how often, in the search for the perfect or ‘utopian’ body, a dystopian reality is created as a result of unnatural aims and expectations. As an exploration of the photographic studio and the codes surrounding the body of the model, the role of gesture and pose and the allegory of still life, these photographs represent related body-based and psychological states. Through the dark colour palette and the claustrophobic nature of the frame, the audience is confronted with a construction of dysfunction, which may be read as a kind of distortion and dismorphia produced by the excess of visual images in everyday life dictating unhealthy body ideals. These photographs propose another vantage point on a much-discussed social issue that affects men and women of all ages. 2011 Dublin Institute of Technology.
