“Unfamiliar Territory” , Exhibition at Foley's on the Mall in Lismore, Co. Waterford, based on travel sketchbooks, this solo exhibition coincided with the Immrama Travel Writer's Festival and continues until the end of June.
“We have all experienced reaching that point when traveling where there are too many cathedrals, shops, castles or vineyards. Staccato memories superimposed on each other like transparencies; perspective flattened; boundaries blurred. When in unfamiliar territory we filter out noise, heat and colour or risk being overwhelmed by it. Stopping to sketch an unfamiliar landscape, to study lines and contours, search for a definable motif and distil visual information enriches my memory of the place. In the studio I may not totally recall all the features of a landscape but the feel of the place or time is strong. Abstractly expressing what was a journey into unfamiliar territory.”
