‘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.

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.

Artists In Previous Show
Pamela de Brí
Statement to accompany this work: I am interested in how art fits into society and how artists have used their work to comment on or respond to our changing world both socially and economically. Images can control our consciousness and can determine our visual horizons and perspectives. Art can break boundaries in a subtle way and can critique the values and trends that result from social or political changes.
Title: "Art is like the slimy trail of the snail as it wanders through life"(Video)This is a reference to a comment made by Francis Bacon about his work and I heard it quoted by Gary Coyle at a seminar in IADT this year. Beuys once said that everyone is an artist, Picasso reckoned that 'after Altamira, all is decadence'! With this work I am exploring how art can critique itself ...in a humourous way.
Title: 'The Flushes of Fódla'(Installation using wax, sand, heat-lamp and wooden box and Video)This work is exploring the vagrancies of the Irish economy using both video and installation. Both work in harmony with each other using contrasting materials. 'Fódla' was a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann. She was the personification of Ireland and her name, along with Éire and Banba have been used to refer to Ireland
Title: 'see you, see you'Video diptych, 12 minsThe video is a comment on life in 21st century IrelandPamela de BríMedia: oils, acrylics, print, photography and video.Pamela de Brí’s work incorporates her interest in Irish culture, language and traditions with the changes that are happening in 21st century Ireland.

Joe has developed an unusual art process of reverse painting on acrylic sheet. This gives the painting a luminosity and sculptural quality. The slightly reflective surface together with reverse painting technique provides and added curiosity to the viewer.

Roma Przedpelska’s intention is to keep her work in the realistic style. She uses subjects or objects to represent attitudes or feeling and injustice that are present in contemporary life.
In this project she used still-life to study and interpret reality. Fruit and vegetables, like rocks, have a state or quality of being physically heavy but like fresh flowers they age and fade. They express the solid and changing beauty. This is how she is portraying life through art.
