I've been busy working away on a few projects over the last while, some of them finished, others are works in progress for an exhibition I am having in 2016. I have just finished my print for A lonely impulse of delight, the group exhibition at the SO Gallery in Dublin. The exhibition celebrates the 150th birthday of WB Yeats, and artists and writers have been asked to respond to a poem by Yeats. The show will travel both nationally and internationally after its opening at SO Fine Art Editions in November, and I am delighted to be a part of it. The piece I made was in response to The Lake Isle of Inisfree. It was great to revisit the poem and it is one that ties in with the current project I am working on about islands. The piece I have made is called impossible futures: shadow worlds and the seeds of dreams. My lake isle is cast in shadows, and truly unattainable, trapped in the dark glass of a snow globe. Some dreams never come to pass!
