About the Exhibition
Artist Rebecca Bradley presents recent paintings in the Lecture Space at Nano Nagle Place. Her work explores ideas about our encounters with place, self and other. Rebecca is interested in the processes by which our understanding and experiences of our surroundings and heritage evolve. The paintings are heavily processual works, sometimes incorporating found materials from the site of inspiration. The Port of Cork and its surroundings are rendered in heavy swathes of plaster, rubble drawn lines, collage and paint which converge to build the surface.Ā In turns abstract, archival and representative, these paintings testify to a process of making and subtracting over time much as our heritage is translated through human and natural interpretations.
