The life-sized bronze figures are more than just art; they're an embodiment of history, representing the struggle and despair of those who suffered during the Irish Famine. The "First Day at The Workhouse" post delves into the historical significance of the workhouse and how Ann Feely's art keeps those memories alive. The site also features two bronze books with illustrations, including Feely's written history of the site, showcasing her dedication to bringing history to life through her art.
