I was fortunate to have been offered a solo show by Thurles Library at the Source. You have already seen the invite so now I can say that there was an opening last Wednesday night which was most enjoyable and I couldn't have asked for better support. There have already been quite few pics on Facebook but I will just post a selection here:
An idea of the layout:
One or two pieces;
Colette Fitzpatrick did the opening:
PJ O'Connell (artist, teacher, curator and friend), Colette, self. Anne-Marie Brophy (Thurles Library)
Some really welcome visitors from Limerick
Thanks to all ..... hugely.
Enough of that - back to school. The work has actually still been proceeding and here is some evidence to prove it:
Immediately after review the drawing project was resumed and we were asked to put up projects in the corridor for a crit - This was that of your blogger called for the day Ebola but really being a further visualisation of the dissolution concept - the body reduced to blood with the presence of test tubes showing the ultimately useless contribution of science, for all life -like politics - ends in failure - or dissolution, or death.
Continuing the small drawings on big area here is the latest:
Sense - ink and graphite on paper (A2)
Here also is a study for a print I am planning:
The ear will be screen-printed (bitmap) onto several different etches as will other organs such as eyes:
These have already been bitmapped and loaded onto screen.
In parallel with this I am undertaking my first CMYK - four colour -screenprint and here are the bitmapped and separated images:
For this evening I will finish with an image of Emma inspecting some of the boxes which are building up into a fascinating collection:
Next I will return to research because over the past few weeks I have been steadily building up a number of artists whose work, one way or another feeds into what I do albeit not apparently directly.
