31 August to 28 October
Opening Thursday, 31 August, 7.30pm
Garter Lane Arts Centre is delighted to present The infinite whatever, a solo exhibition of screen prints, photography and photo-riston prints by Debbie Godsell. The ‘infinite whatever’ is a term coined by the New York Times travel writer Eric Werner who describes his experiences of ‘thin’ places as where ‘’the distance between heaven and earth collapses and we glimpse the divine, transcendent, or the infinite whatever’’. In these places, we may be ‘jolted out of old ways of seeing the world.’
This collection of new work responds to Werner’s theory with imagery gathered from the west Cork landscape- documenting such places that resonate and offer a refuge. Places where a person may experience a rare sense of wellbeing or briefly connect with their essential self. Alongside the landscape, the image of the child in this work explores fragility, curiosity, vulnerability and the belief that children live close to these ‘thin’ places.
