In the Fold of the Earth is a two-person exhibition by emerging artists Lisa O’Sullivan & Leslie Allen Spillane at Cork Printmakers Studio Gallery.
Opening reception: 5PM Thursday 14th May, all welcome
The exhibition explores poetic and symbolic connections between the human and non-human world. Working primarily through print-based practices, photography, and expanded media, both artists reflect themes of eco-consciousness, ritual, and psychological transformation within an environmentally precarious world.Nature is a metaphorical and philosophical anchor in both artists’ practice. O'Sullivan explores ecological collapse and failing systems through mythological frameworks informed by folklore, ritual and re-enchantment with the natural world. Spillane utilises plant-based photographic processes to explore conflicting measures of time. The cyclical seasons of plant life, the cultural imposition of the Gregorian calendar, and the chronoception of the human body are in conflict and in conversation with each other.
