WEAVE - Punchinello at Garter Lane Art Gallery, Waterford

27th July - 31 August, 2009

The natural earth colours found in the diverse flora of Fenor Bog inspired the installation “Weave”.

Bog oak and hazel rod created a framework on which snapshots of the bog were used to weave a visual tapestry. The images represent different viewpoints - like the seven distinct eco systems they interconnect, maintain and support each other - diversity linked together, creating a single artwork. Different elements remain separate, but when you see them from the distance they are one.

The selected photographs are part of a visual record of visits made to Fenor Bog in late 2008. Taken from the pathway during autumn and winter 2008, they include close-up abstract studies that reveal rich colours and textures. These warm earth colours are similar to traditional dyes used in Irish weaving.
