OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR
This was a group show by Sophie Behal, Maeve Lynch, Rosie O’Reilly and Cliodhna O’Riordan. It took place in August 2019.
Drawing on Husserl's phenomenological analysis of perception the work is conceptually linked by investigations into the object and the experiencer as fluid entities; dissolving, melting and transient.
Teetering on subject/object edges, the exhibition investigates how the process of dissolving (From the Latin - Dis: Apart and Solvere: Loosen) can be used thematically to dismantle rigid inside/outside barriers for the viewer and stretch concepts of agency, object and action.
The anchor point for my work in this exhibition was the stretch of the river Blackwater that runs through Kilmacow, and the canal way that feeds my father's hydro-electric turbine that until recently produced the electricity that powered the whole village. As of the floods just before Christmas 2018 the river burst through a 200 year old weir, returning it to its original course, and now the hand-laid canal is dry.
