House Trees and other tales is currently on show at DeAppendix with Ciara McMahon, GP and curator. I made a large wall drawing titled House Trees, carrying the following verse:
We live amongst them
and they amongst us
We share their space
They share ours.
They stand sentinel;
We live in their balmy shade.
They are our companions on Earth
companions on Earth.
Included in the Exhibition are these following works:
- Lost in the Telling
- Seeds
- Meadow Flowers
- Grass
- Sea, Sheep, behind me
- Aerials 1
- Aerials 2
The theme for these works is “Nature through our human eyes”. We seem to measure everything according to its relation to ourselves. The two works “Aerials” turn this around a little. I intended to show that we are part of all that is nature, and not a-part from it.
DeAppendix is an art project run by Dr Ciara McMahon at her surgery in Dublin.
“The arts have been part of the Amaranta Family Practice since its inception. Our
doctor, Dr. Ciara McMahon is acutely aware of the importance of creativity to our
quality of life and so the practice is co-located with De Appendix space. De Appendix
has a regular program of visual art installed in the practice reception and waiting room
in addition to an on-going artists residency programme, where professional artists are
awarded studio space in the practice for an eight week period
