This collection of works abstractly visualises human emotions, time and space. The title refers to two things. How human emotions are in a constant state of flux as time passes, alternating between different mental states and the quantum physics theory of alternative realities and the multiverse/many worlds theory. If taking these theories as true, they are linked in a sense that every emotion we ever feel happens simultaneously in the past, present and future, all at once, and infinitely in other dimensions. Alternate aims to question and capture the beauty of this proposed theoretical phenomenon.

Robyn Carey is a painter and printmaker based in Dublin. Her abstract expressionist works currently explore human perception of time and space. She aims to strike an honest and natural balance between contrasting elements, often creating a sense of movement between them and thus unveiling an underlying narrative to the viewer. Her work is characterised by her expressive mark making and complex layered compositions. Her introspective artworks are energetic, with emotion expressed through gestural mark making, textures and mono printing.
Each layer of paint is applied in response to the last symbolising human responses to emotion as time passes. In her compositions, Pattern is hinted at, but never perfectly realised, drawing parallels to human behavioural patterns. A sense of movement and constant flux can be seen in her work. She paints with a sense of naivety and a humanistic quality. Her process driven abstraction defines texture, tactility, and colour interaction as the leading qualities of beauty in her work. Runs until September 19.
