Forth Coming Exhibition
Holdfast
24 works in oil and mixed media
by Patricia Curran Mulligan
September 15th - 29th 2012
@ Yeats Art Gallery, Hyde Bridge, Sligo.
Holdfast, is the final trilogy of exhibitions gestated during time spent, over 82 days spent in isolation on The Fred Conlon inaugural bursary, at Easkey, Co. Sligo in 2009.
Part one, 'Storm Drawings' was shown at the Hamilton Gallery in September / October 2009.
Part two, 'Clone, Bark, Mask' was exhibited at the Yeats Gallery, Sligo in April / May 2011.
Here in 'Holdfast' the innate curiousity of a child's journey stumbles into dis-equilibrium. Schemas of internal representations to understand the world are formulated.
Occasionally a sense of bliss, detachment from reality, lack of attention to the passing of time is examined in the 'Moment'. Intense periods of concentration connect mixed signals or indifference. Play is hard-wired to our genetic code. It is here the artist examines the 'Holdfast,' from her birthplace, pre-journeying through fragmented zones to a do-able state of timelessness.
