‘Day Dreams’ is the inspiration for this work. The imagery explores the connections and journeys that are encountered. The work embodies the joyful experiences before all is elapsed in a moment in time. Day dreams are the vitamins that feed our souls.

Lorraine Byrne's work centres around ideas of the sublime. She is interested in light and how it shapes and changes the landscape and in people’s efforts to tame it. She is curious about the effects produced when nature is manipulated. In addition, Lorraine is fascinated with line, and geometric patterning which occurs in everyday things.

We close our minds to what we don’t want to see or hear. It is easy to lay the blame at someone else’s door and not stand up and take responsibility for our actions.

My current work is centred in Ukraine and Eastern Europe where I try to capture some of the atmosphere of the region mostly through quick plein air sketches. I have in mind a specific scene when I start drawing, but often surprise myself afterwards with the decisions I made when the clock was ticking.

Media: Mix media and installation

Ann Turpin’s work explores urban life particularly on the public stage that everyone shares-‘the street’- the street as a metaphor for space and time where different and simultaneous events unfold and entwine. The work is concerned with the process of transformation taking place in the physical environment and is informed by the chaotic qualities of urban life.

"Trace", Pallas Contemporary Projects, June 2009

Trace Presented by 10to12artists at Pallas Contemporary Projects

17th–20th June 2009

"Trace" was the inaugural show of a new artists’ collective called '10to12artists'. The show featured new works in a variety of media including drawing, painting, photography, video and installation. The works for "Trace" were selected by Niall Flaherty, who is a practicing artist and educator, a founder member of Blackletter Artists Group and currently a member of Monster Truck Gallery's curatorial team.

Plotting a course... following a path... pursuing their own process... 10to12artists set out together to trace a new route. With a lightness of touch, embracing models of production and activity from artists they admire, they develop for themselves new practices to describe their world. 10to12artists are: Lorraine Byrne, Gráinne Brady, Pamela de Brí, Charles Henihan, Jacinta Hughes, Denise Kevany, John Murray, Joe Nagle, Roma Przedpelska, Ann Turpin and Mary Quinn.

This was an artist-initiated project, as part of the independent summer programme of exhibitons at the Pallas Contemporary Projects.
