Artist Statement My concerns over the last decade are to some extent explained by the titles of my solo exhibitions during this period, So it Goes: Arivals and Departures: The Summer of 98: High Windows and Bandaged Skies and most recently Views from the Mill. The underlying connection has been an attempt to deal with people and events that have made an impact on me for example the slow decline and death of my parents in an old people’s home. There has also been an attempt to deal with the Omagh Bombing and the murder of the Quinn children in Ballymoney with the exhibition “The Summer of 98”. In “High Windows and Bandaged Skies” the paintings examine the changing light conditions on the interior spaces and detritus of the mill where I have my studio and on the city beyond the windows. These windows often broken and mended with tape have for me become a metaphor for the bandaging of wounds, a reference to events during the building’s history. My last series to be undertaken in the mill at Creative Exchange have been given notice to quit by the 30 April 2007. |
