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.

This body of work looks at the idea of a narrative suggested by different locations. In particular, my attention was drawn to man-made, built up areas; places where human presence is sensed.
These paintings are oil on canvas.
Paintings two and four from this series will be on display in the Lemonstreet gallery from the 1st of December until the 30th of January.

This body of work was made with the notion of the sublime in mind. My main source on this theory was Edmund Burke's A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Notion Of The Sublime and Beautiful.
