Greetings & salutations !

  
I would like to take this opportunity in welcoming you to the "New Found Kernel" Web Pages.

The pages are part of collaboration with my fellow students in Year 1 ART at the W.I.T.

We were all given the same project brief, which centred around the concept of Containment, Journey and the Historical connections between Waterford City and Newfoundland, Canada.

Basically, we had to imagine the position of those who left their homes and Ireland long ago, escaping the Famine or for other unfortunate reasons and travelling to a distant land seeking a new life and a new future.

What would we do in that situation ?

What possesions would we take ?

Could we cope with the change of environment ?

Would the future be better than the past ?
