Irene Quinn; Fine Art: Sculpture

"My work is an exploration of a childhood memory of my ancestors' recollection of the moving bog, which is now defined by the dominance of European bureaucrats vying or the Seat of Power. Will they ever have enough now that they have barred us?" Irene Quinn

“Forgotten Fatalities”

"My work challenges the audience’s inherent ideas surrounding beauty. It plays with the boundaries of revulsion and attraction, blurring the confines of what constitutes aesthetic pleasure. The pieces focus on animal carcasses, transforming everyday forgotten fatalities into delicate studies of mortality. These casualties, which previously incited feelings of disgust, now represent the exquisite sadness that is death. The grotesque becomes beautiful and the melancholic becomes enchanting." Rebecca Connell

Laura Wade; Fine Art: Print

"My work is a response to the anatomy of the human form. I want to explore the biological complexities of the inner body and contemplate its aesthetic possibilities. Through my work, I attempt to evoke a sense of being, and invite the viewer to consider their own physical presence. My inquiry into the intricate layers becomes a mapping of the body, reminiscent of a larger order and pattern of relationship in all things." Laura Wade

"My work involves de-constructing photographs I have taken and translating them into paintings. They contain a sense of space due to layers of juxtaposing images; exploring a relationship between reality and a created world."

Jackie Burke; Fine Art: Paint

Artwork and statement by artist Jackie Burke, who is participating in our upcoming show.

"The visual language of film is used here to prompt discussion on the structures of society. Solidifying imagery that visualizes the unspeakable. These works could be considered conspiratorial, like propaganda. The work invites others into an examination of how we are coerced by the authority of mediated images."
