I come from a painting environment whose explicitly abstract nature has been infused with built-in niches of narrative. Still, a non-hierarchical, all-over visual effect resounding the qualities of a colour field is hovering over the labyrinthine detail of individual optical scenarios made out of intertwined lines in skewed geometry. The space relationships in the designs mark a topos that cannot be experienced divorced from occurrences and events that take place within space-time, but is rather an aspect of a deeper, more complex experience.
In that sense, the wallpaper I proposed for ev+a 2006 is an arrangement of hypnotic, three dimensional interiors in skewed perspective, zooming in and out from their boxes. The tallest building in Limerick at this time – the Clarion Hotel – is incorporated in the wallpaper pattern. Gracing the Clarion Hotel lobby, this work has been designed to capture the multitude of momentary, transient feelings of travellers passing by.
