limerick is a shantytown constructed in the spaces between some of the more well spaced stackhouses - it's layers of shacks and shanties and containers and sheds that look like crumpled cans stacked on top of each other, hidden under layers of moss and vine. intensely coloured, a patchwork of colour and texture. while far from clean or safe, there is an intense interconnectedness and sense of community in the limerick. the narrow streets between stackhouses are even narrower now limerick lines them, the top levelsof the shanty stacks leaning down over and shading them. the true taliesin slum.
