Spending much of my time editing video at the moment and panicking about all I have to do before Christmas which frighteningly is now only 21 days away!
The Inishlacken videos will be shown in Galway next year. There are three of them all relating to the island and I am considering showing them on small screens, set into the wall at head height. This way the viewer will have an intimate and personal view of the work. The only piece that I fear may not work as well in this format is Memorial to the Islanders III. This one is long – over an hour long in fact and is a subtle recording of Memorial iiI. It depicts the darkness falling as the candles burn until they extinguish themselves completely by which time the night sky is completely dark. Its a slow burn work and one you might need to return to from time to time so a large projection seems the best way for it to be seen. These different methods of display may prove tricky to pull off.
I have also been mulling over some ideas for my drawings recently and tomorrow am going to experiemnt in my studio.
Until then here are some more images from my Irish work.
