Bright Sadness. Solo Show 2022

Before Light, there was hovering over water

Out of the relationship of movement and water

came Sound

Bright Sadness is a contemporary re-telling of oral poems as a way to re-member, so as to not forget. The poems meditate on life that is by design from conception to death punctuated by loss.

Visual pieces act as doorways to oral poems or as portals to other work, and so on. The placement of the virtual gallery within the Museum setting, coupled with the capacity to participate through interaction, situates the medicinal capacity of oral poetry back into community service.

Sadness was available through the Limerick City and County Museum, Limerick, Ireland from April 2022 and was partially funded by the Limerick City and County Council Culture & Arts office.
