It's Over

This work explores the idea of the fleetingness of daily life. In an attempt to retain some memory from passing days I have been recording sentences from one day to the next. The work consists of a selection of these sentences constructed from candles in the shapes of letters.

This piece will be exhibited in thisisnotashop, opening on the 5th of November from 7-9pm, where at the opening the candles will be lit. The exhibition will continue until Sunday the 8th of November.

Thisisnotashop is located at 26 Benburb Street, Dublin 7. For more info please visit www.thisisnotashop.com.
