Kelly, Déirdre: Meeting of the Waters A new map of Ireland where the East and West coasts draw closer together, to create a sort of interior lake, a land locked mixture of sea & ocean. It takes us on a ‘round trip’ journey of the bays, heads and points which characterise the Irish coastline. A line which unites and determines the tension between water and land.
The original collage was created from a single map of Ireland, in homage to the innovative use of collage by Czech artist and poet Jirí Kolár. The title is taken from the River Avoca in County Wicklow, which originally consisted of two rivers: Avonmore (Irish: Abhainn Mhór, "Big River") and Avonbeg (Irish: Abhainn Bheag, "Little River"). leporello, 4.1 x 8.5 inch, Ed. of 200, num., sign., Venedig, 2016 Request of availability backnext
