Ulysses #070 ‘Denny’s sausages’

1,850

“And a pound and a half of Denny’s sausages…”

This piece was born from one of those joyfully unexpected moments — finding a brand name like Denny’s sausages in Ulysses, a novel over a century old. The unmistakable blue of the Denny logo and the nostalgic pink tones of a humble Irish sausage guided the palette.

In this painting, memory, identity, and the everyday intersect. It captures not only Bloom’s butcher-shop moment on page 70 but also the personal nostalgia of an Irish artist living abroad. For me, the Irish sausage represents comfort, tradition, and the unassuming rituals of home — even now, I smile when I find a few frozen ones tucked in the back of the freezer.

A tribute to family, warmth, and those little food rituals that root us.
