Overburden by Fiona Kelly opens in Triskel Gallery Space
The first exhibition in Triskel Gallery Space is Overburden by Fiona Kelly and it opens on Thursday 16 January at 6pm. All are welcome.
Fiona Kelly is drawn to the rapid metamorphosis of territory, both urban and rural, in an age of environmental crisis. She examines questions surrounding the human ‘exploration’ of landscape, understood as both a relationship with nature and an extractivist approach to natural resources. Specifically, her research into wasteland and abandoned spaces addresses themes of ecology and society. ‘Overburden’ is an exhibition featuring recent and newly made works examining connections between the built environment, sense of place, displacement and topography.
