Lines Tell Lies

Exhibition at The Source Gallery, Thurles, 2017

Lines deceive the eye and all is not what it seems. Lines Tell Lies presents works in which line is a transforming and provocative element playing with ideas of perception and ways of seeing. The exhibition is an attempt to persuade the viewer to accept realities which do not exist. The viewer is asked to believe that air has solid form and illusion has real substance. In the piece called Double Vision the door on the right is a real functioning door – the one on the left is a drawing with infill at floor level.
