songs & questions Exhibition
From:January 13, 2011 20:00 to: February 5, 2011 15:00
Location: Ballina Arts Centre
‘songs and questions’, features the work of four artists: Rachael Agnew, Yvonne Woods & Susan Montgomery, and Mayo-based artist Jane O’Sullivan.
The exhibition looks at how artists use source material in their work and how this translates into new visual forms.
Re-imagining the Edwardian artist and naturalist Edith Holden’s life and tragic death was the starting point for Jane O”Sullivan’s latest body of work, entitled ‘A Song for Edith’. It will be shown in Ballina in a collection of drawings and a specially-made film.
Rachael Agnew’s research into scientific life patterns has evolved to incorporate all aspects of life, allowing her to explore many other disciplines and aesthetics including science, mathematics, history, architecture and spirituality. Her work also conceptually plays within the broad and contrasting areas of order and chaos, nature and science.
Susan Montgomery and Yvonne Woods have created work inspired by the prose of the Canadian writer Anne Michaels. Their inspiration is drawn directly from Michael’s 1996 novel, Fugitive Pieces, a profound meditation on loss and love, the dead and the living, and the indestructibility of the human spirit.
Free admission. All are welcome to attend, exhibition runs until 5th February.
