The ebb and flow of arrivals and departures at Cork Airport will echo the beautiful sea and landscapes of Sherkin Island artist, Jo Ashby. Her solo exhibition, ‘Heading West’ opens at the airport on Saturday 1st June and runs until 28th June. Jo Ashby’s work is rooted in observation and drawing, capturing the patterns and rhythms of nature; in particular, the changing sea and landscapes of Sherkin island in Roaring Water Bay, West Cork. She works in series, investigating and exploring a particular aspect of the landscape or sea, such as patterns on the water surface, how the wind and weather impact on sea, trees and landscape, or the effect of light playing on water.
