Wayfinding

‘Wayfinding’, an exhibition of work by myself and my sister Paula Hickey, will represent a culmination of conversations held over the past few months, as well as some time spent exploring the Burren in Co. Clare, working together on individual and joint work. It will look to the landscape for inspiration, and especially to the dynamic natural processes and phenomena we observed. Working across mediums, the exhibition will reference water cycles, stone formations and flora, including those local to the area. 

 

Susan Campbell, living in Co. Wicklow, graduated with an HND fine art before undertaking an MPhil and PhD art history. Now integrating her creative and research interests, she is concerned with natural dynamics, the structures that underlie reality as we experience it and the inherent relationships between things. Many of her works incorporate motifs derived from textile structures as a metaphor for interplay between polarities. 

 

Leeds-based Paula Hickey, a regular visitor to Kinvara, holds a BA in graphic design and MA in creative practice. Inspired by the elemental, her process is rooted in material play. She believes it is through working with substances that more elusive aspects of our existence can be explored, making visible that which might otherwise remain hidden.
