Niamh Flanagan - Dark Skies Winter Lights

Light Up - Draíocht Building Projection Commissions 2021

Mon 27 Dec 2021 — Sun 30 Jan 2022
Draíocht Outdoors
Event2021 Light Up Niamh Dark Skies Winter

Light Up - Draíocht's Building Projection Commissions 2021 continue with a brand new projection work created by Niamh Flanagan.

"For the Light Up Project I have created two etchings depicting snow-capped peaks that will loom large in the evenings outside Draíocht creating an otherworld for viewers to contemplate. The works will explore ideas of escape, adventure and both the futility and importance of impossible dreams." Niamh Flanagan

Niamh Flanagan's work explores the search for utopias in our worlds, and the restless desire to be somewhere else. She uses visual elements of the landscape around her, both urban and rural, internal and external, to describe this search for something that is perhaps unattainable. Flux, change and growth are central concepts to the work. The playful printed world of cities and mountains, forests and islands, suggests escape and isolation. But the world depicted in the prints is a volatile one too, which lies beyond our control, with its ever-changing skies, and strange fruit lurking beneath the surface.
