Windows of Imperfection – An Exhibition by Aoife O’Brien, August 1st – 31st, FREE
Launch: Friday 7th of August, 6:30pm.
Windows of Imperfection explores the relationship between material, time and attention through a series of works created using traditional and alternative photographic processes.
Rooted in slow, tactile methods, the work reflects patterns of growth, erosion and renewal found in the natural world. Rather than seeking perfection, these pieces embrace variation, imperfection and material traces, allowing marks, textures and subtle shifts to remain as part of the work’s visual language.
This exhibition invites viewers into a quieter, more attentive way of looking, to notice how our surroundings shift whether we wait for them or not, and how they change in response to the way we engage with them.
“The flowers I picked after my mother died taught me something about the beauty of impermanence. This body of work is a record of my instinct to preserve what is passing, even knowing that holding on changes what we hold.”
