This exhibition is my response to visiting Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli) and spending time on the site of the 6th century monastery built by Celtic Christian monks. Using archaeology as a metaphor for my fine art practice, I aim to make artworks that enable viewers to consider their own personal ‘spiritual archaeology’. I use the simplest and most universal of marks – the vertical line and the circle – seeking to give visual form to the invisible. The viewer is then invited to ‘excavate’ these artworks, and find through them an evocation of the passage of time which, while hinting at prehistory, nevertheless speaks to their contemporary world.
About a couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to speak to artist Eileen Harrisson about her PhD-exhibition A Sorrowful Healing, which is currently on at the School of Art Gallery here in Aberystwyth.
You can listen to the full interview here:
Please be aware that it includes some sounds and descriptions of events during the Troubles that you might find upsetting.
A Sorrowful Healing is open Monday – Friday, 10am – 5pm, until the 11th March.

This exhibition explores the creative relationship between stitch, sound and word through the prism of my experiences of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It bears witness to my sorrow at the suffering of the conflict and desire for the peace gained to hold and be expanded on. A nurse’s cape and artworks hand-stitched on linen, interspersed with poems, tell out the stories. A looped sound-track, Fusion, voices how thread pulled through fabrics replicates the sound of the bombings, my voice telling out the ensuing confusion and reflections on the theme in tone and poetry.

Our postgraduates are extremely proud to be able to present their exhibition to the public this autumn, given the difficult circumstances they had to work under due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They certainly deserve a huge ‘Congratulations!’.

My research examines indeterminacy, principally within a visual art context. It is considered in relation to the role of authorship in art, and explores the importance of the role of intentionality in the making of art. Continue reading
