Meadhbh is an exhibitionist!

Wheelworks Arts is delighted that one our employees Meadhbh McIlgorm is exhibiting in a solo show at the Georgian Gallery , Ards Arts Centre, Newtownards.

Titled ‘The Process of Coming to Pieces’, Meadhbh’s show takes a material-centred approach to ephemeral phenomena, intangible concepts, and liminal states.

She is interested in the traces of process, experience and time as recorded via materials. Entropy (the gradual decline into disorder) and disintegration (the process of coming to pieces) are underlying themes, with objects often utilising repurposed and reclaimed materials again and again, in ever smaller fragments. The qualities of reflection and transparency feature regularly in her image-based work which explores edges, thresholds and boundaries, where one thing blurs into another and is briefly, something else.  

This exhibition will showcase ongoing work in various materials including glass paper and textile. It runs from Friday 5 May to Saturday 27 May 2023. Admission is free. An open reception is being held on Thursday 11 May from 7 - 9pm and more information can be found  here. Furter information on Meadhbh’s work can be found on her Facebook page.
