Breda Lynch
b. 1970, Ireland
The pieces on show are personal memento mori. They evoke ideas of fragility, decay and mortality. Made from selected found materials and objects, the process of construction, of overlapping, layering and deconstruction, gives rise to ambiguities, glimpses and fragmentary clues as a way of putting a shape on the incomprehensible. What is revealed is a dialogue with a creative process that allows ideas to stay in a state of flux, feeding one discovery or surprise into another. I hope that each piece communicates this excitement.
