MIGRATIONS
February – 3 March 2017
Migrations explores themes of location, migration, and diaspora through an installation of mixed-media works that include drawing, book art and collage. The migratory aspect of ideas and material is expressed in images and artists’ books that re-purpose data from various found sources in order to construct new visual and metaphorical narratives. Déirdre Kelly’s collaged nautical charts and altered maps highlight the plight of contemporary migrants. Of Irish descent and based in Venice, Kelly’s work has often dwelt on ideas of location and dislocation.
