Iontas 2005, Sligo Art Gallery.
She makes art that engages with her immediate environment focusing on the familiar, a chair, footprints , a shadow on a wall, marks of everyday life, often unnoticed, to which we give it little attention. A central aspect in the making of the work is the exploration of the Japanese idea, 'mono no aware', literally 'the pathos of things', the awareness of their impermanence and transience and the wistfulness of their passing.
Through photographic documentation, drawing and painting, she explores an idea, experimenting with drawing processes, extending boundaries through collage, text, print and installation.
'Making a drawing holds onto the momentary experience, freezing the moment. The drawing holds our reflections and feelings making something concrete of the encounter with the object.'
The resultant work varies in scale from tiny drawings on canvas and paper to a large-scale wall drawing made in situ, hovering between the abstract and the representational.
