Zeropointsixrecurring

Golden Thread Gallery, Belfast

November 2018

For the artist it is a realisation about reaching a point in life, taking stock and learning lessons, letting certain things go and placing more importance in other things. It is about reminiscing and looking forward. Zeropintsixsixrecurring is the point when all influences from previous exhibitions come together. 

Ceramic remains at the core of everything. For the artist, hand-made integrity is a key element of the work. It mirrors the craftsmanship of the inlayed, hardwood fine furniture that his father, a lifelong civil servant would make in the evenings after work. The introduction of other, more unconventional materials such as hosiery, Meccano and shotgun cartridges, reflect influence from various parts of the artist’s life.

Zeropointsixsixrecurring is a combination of influences from the artist’s very first memory to the present time, looking forward as well as backwards..
