SOLO EXHIBITION

Meabhraíocht - Lessons from A Hedgerow
Laneway Gallery Cork

Feburary 2024

meabhraíocht, f. (gs. ~a). Consciousness, awareness; thought, intelligence.

"Lessons from a hedgerow" is a metaphor for connecting with the world around us in a grounded, mindful way. The hedgerow, often seen as a natural boundary or a place where life flourishes, represents a space of quiet wisdom and simplicity. The act of being in the present moment, of truly seeing, doing, and creating in the here and now, is at the heart of mindfulness and creativity, this present moment awareness opens us up to the truest inspiration and expression.

’The world is full of magic things patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper’ WB Yeats

The focus of this series aims to give an awareness of ‘a sense of place’, of ‘being’, this process is paramount in the making of the works as nothing can be truly created outside of the present moment.

SOLO EXHIBITION

THE OMEGA 3d
The Alley Theatre/Arts Centre

6th - 31st July 2015

Delighted to have my THE OMEGA 3d'- Solo exhibition hosted in the beautiful Alley Theatre/Arts Centre, Strabane, Co. Tyrone.

THE OMEGA SERIES
‘The Omega (awakenings 3d)’ builds on my previous series ‘Awakenings (The Alpha)’ and ‘Awakenings Reloaded’ this is the third in the trilogy of the awakenings theme. They consist of a number of 15 cubes, a number of which are wall mounted and some of which allow the viewer a full 360-degree view of the works.
Also inspired by the landscape, what we perceive as everyday and perhaps ordinary, the places we merely glance at without allowing ourselves to get lost in the breathtaking creation and beauty that surrounds us. This visual influence is determined by the surrounding landscape of my environment, but its intention is primarily as a catalyst in expressing divinity and is therefore secondary to this expression, the primary purpose being process, allowing and presence.
The cubes question and challenge the staple of painting being confined to the two-dimensional surface, pushing the boundaries into the third dimension. The cubes suggesting the dichotomy of spirit, being all things in all directions at once and is also a more literal translation of the work of post-impressionist painter Cezanne and the subsequent Cubist movement, however the painted surfaces of my work has more in common with the Romantic philosophy , in particular that of Turner.
