O'Kane has also produced an intriguing work called Regeneration, a stop-motion animation of a dozen paintings based on aerial views of Blanchardstown outside Dublin. The paintings track a period of ten years when the area went from farmers' green fields bisected by hedgerows to the whites, tans, and grays of urban development, in this case the form of one of the largest shopping centers in Ireland.
