Against Oblivion:

Have you found a book? Were you too nervous to let me know? (It's never too late). Fill out the form below... it is my hope that at some future date, we can regather a few of the books and new paintings for an exhibition.

Click on the picture to preview the paintings.

Otherwise known as "Against Oblivion", this installation of objects attempts to cross the boundary between painting and expectation. It is by no means a new idea, but it holds the hope of the unexpected -- that a small deposit (of a painting in a book) can lead to some unimagined consequences.

It has now been a number of years since I moved to Brooklyn, NY from Ballyvaughan, Ireland. Two or three subway cars filled during rush hour could populate the entire village where I used to live, and my psyche dwells somewhere in between.

remote landscape, limestone rock, embedded fossils, wild winds, potent ocean swells... city-scape, subterranean travel, swarms of bodies in motion, marks etched in concrete and paint...movementments and textures alluding to life's trace.

Faced with the city, the subway, the mass of people, I am still drawn to moments within the larger chaos-- paradoxes of minute expanses and grand details-- and the quest for meaning and substance.

Transitory Art:

More than a Hundred Paintings left in the Subway, from Solstice to Solstice

A year passed between the subway installation and a regathering of what was left. The exhibition, installed in the basement of a church space in Greenpoint, was a chance to regather paintings, memory, and experience.

Special thanks to the Brooklyn-based group Friend's Academy, who performed during the opening.
