“In this latest body of work Mooney presents a series of paintings inspired by the ancient history of art in Ireland, and more specifically the poetry of Seamus Heaney. The series takes its title from the Heaney poem “Seeing Things”. Making reference to his father’s passing, Heaney’s work explores the thread of nature itself, the senses laid bare; exposing the links between body, spirit and heritage. In “Seeing Things” land becomes material, exposed and reflexive, the stuff of life coming to the surface and what has gone before momentarily intermingling with the now. It is here that much of Mooney’s work resides.” Curator, Hilary Murray. (runs until June 24)
