I am delighted to have been accepted to onto the Mayo Based Artist Residency at Interface Inagh. I have always admired this organisations commitment to exploring the intersection between the arts and science. Interface is based out of a defunct Salmon Hatchery and embedded in the awe inspiring landscape of Inagh Valley. This feels like the perfect time and place to complete my Lexicon of Wonder project which itself combines visual art, poetry and research psychology to bring people back into a sense of awe and wonder at scientific investigation and the natural world.
For more about INTERFACE see below:
” Interface is a studio and residency programme for visual artists, dancers, writers and musicians, situated in the Inagh Valley, in the heart of Connemara. Our mission is to provide catalyzing opportunities for artists to develop work and engage with others through a unique platform that explores the intersections between scientific research and art.
The studio is located in premises shared with the Inagh Valley Trust, which drives a number of innovative scientific research projects in the Inagh Valley. Interface offers artists an opportunity to engage with a unique environment and to be inspired by the exciting research taking place in a spectacular landscape.
The facility was built as a salmon hatchery in the late 1980s. Scott Tallon Walker architects were commissioned by Carrolls cigarette company to design the biggest, most advanced salmon hatchery in the world. The facility was bought by the current owners in 2007 with a view to developing a centre of scientific research and development.”
With much thanks to AbbVie, as this opportunity was made possible through their Community Responsibility Committee in support of a Co.Mayo based artist.
