OK, this is about art not literature although there are of course visual clichés too.....enough!!

Here are some of the latest Holgas:

Later

There was a new show in the Source in Thurles and one of the artists is a printmaker called Liz Nilsson and after I had been in to see this work I thought to myself ' that's you back in your box!!'

 

These are really big hybrid screen prints with thread worked into them

 

this is about 15 feet long

 

this is the thread on the surface

 

Really impressive

The other interesting thing I came across were monoprinted etches done by a favourite artist  -Yves Tanguy - |I had always liked his surrealist paintings but had never before seen any of his printwork -

 

Yves Tanguy, Rhabdomancie (From Brunidor Folio) - etching with monoprints 1847

More to think about.
