This new exhibition of prints, paintings and an artist book emerged from a collaboration between the artist and writer, Shauna Gilligan. Both artist and writer share an interest in the concept of collective and individual land memory.
Excerpt from A Kind Of Nearness, a critical text written in response to the show:
But it isn’t weather alone that sets these cross-sections of landscape pulsing, or a shuddering lens that makes the prints quiver with partial recognition. Rather, all these images seem to be in a prolonged, untenable state of aftermath. There is a sense that, either a decade or a few moments ago, something potent came to pass and drank up all the emotive resonance these spaces and objects had to offer. What they occupy now in an interminable ongoingness with no ready culmination in sight, only this steady tempo in which landscapes and domestic items disclose traces, impressions and slivers of what they’ve seen—albeit on a frequency the human ear is unattuned to.
