✂️⚡️Upcoming Solo Exhibition - The Lexicon of Wonder⚡️✂️
Opening: This Friday July 11th at 6pm GMT
Running until: Saturday, August 9th 2025.
At:
Áras Inis Glauire,
Church St,
Belmullet,
Co. Mayo,

I am really thrilled to launch this exhibition of my new body of work entitled The Lexicon of Wonder.
Inspired by the emotions of Wonder & Awe which are central pillars to my experience of the world.

Here is a little bit about the work:
”Wonder and Awe are complex emotions arising in response to experiences of profound beauty, connection, natural phenomena, or through bearing witness to the incredible capacities, courage or talents of other human beings. They can also arise at times of great personal crisis or fear such as witnessing the raw power of nature at a time of natural disaster.

Encountering reality through the states of Wonder and Awe can make an individual feel simultaneously small, and deeply connected to the world around them. They are emotions that inspire us to both transcend our own self interests and to delve deeply into our desire for greater understanding. They are in short the emotions of human discovery, and as such the unifying engines of the human curiosity behind philosophy, science and the arts.

For this exhibition I draw on the contemporary research of Psychologist Dacher Keltner and Philosopher Helen De Cruz into the importance of Wonder as a state of being. This new body of work is inspired by wonder, materials sourced from old children's scientific encyclopedias and contemporary collage techniques. Opening this Friday, I invite you to Áras Inis Glauire where you can experience these artworks that instill a viewer with sense of Wonder at the boundless curiosity of scientific investigation and humanities deep connection with the natural world.”
