the pPunk Kleinbürger - the petty bourgeoisies

YOU ARE REAL

Fresh paint from the Tyrone Guthrie Centre

This layering of spaces 

this thinking in colour 

these lines of thought

Where it never ends

or it never begins 

it is always there

a hum 

A simple putting together of things

of colours 

with tension

Dark is the deep sea

TONIGHT THERE IS NO GOD

A new solo show in Dublin

After lots of hard work and hibernation I’m very happy and VERY excited to finally announce my new solo show ‘TONIGHT THERE IS NO GOD’. 

I call this my schizophrenic one, it swings in emotion from serenity to defiant anger with I hope some humour thrown in, and I can’t wait to see all the work together on the walls of the fabulous ORIGIN GALLERY, Dublin come June 14th! 

To be opened by MARIA DOYLE KENNEDY, Roll up, roll up, put the date in your diary, and polish your shoes, tell your sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers, your nuns and your priests -

Don’t miss this one!

More info soon ….

This painting 'Social Achievement' now owned by the Office of Public Works was used as a print for this fabulous dress by fashion designer Julianna Bass. It went down the runway at New York Fashion Week, and now it has now made it home and into my own wardrobe....What an extremely special gift (www.juliannabass.com)

Together

"I confess I find such a place not lonely or depressing but inspiriting. You are thrown at the same time back upon yourself and forward against the mystery and majesty of nature and you may feel dimly something of your own littleness and your own greatness."

Happy Christmas to all 

New work from an intense and wonderful week in Kerry

Cill Rialaig Project

Very glad and full of joy to be going back to this magic place for a residency in the next few days 

You have to slowly let go 

of all that you've clung to tightly to survive 

because here you need something else to survive

you need to sit with the very stuff you're made of 

rediscover solitude 

and the silence

oh the silence

and the sea.
