 ullen-Kelly presents Carousel.15th August - 20th September at Dunamaise Ar
 ts Centre.Free to visit during opening hours\, and 1 hour prior events (Tu
 es to Sat\, 1pm to 5pm).\nMary Cullen Kelly likes to time travel using pai
 nt\, print and collage. Her colourful and detailed images can feel all at 
 once familiar and strange. She creates moments and places that may or may 
 not have existed. She is interested in and has studied the experience of F
 low Theory in relation to art making.\nMary was awarded this solo exhibiti
 on as a prize from our Open Submission Show 2024 by Guest Selector Vera Kl
 ute\, RHA.\nAbout the ArtistMary is an artist from Dublin who lives in Car
 low. She has a degree in Fine Art Print from NCAD and an MSc in Disability
  Studies from UCD\, which focussed on the experience of engagement in arts
  activities\, for which she won the Eunice Kennedy Shriver medal. She has 
 previously exhibited in VISUAL Carlow and extensively in group and open su
 bmission shows\, including the RHA Annual. Mary has been involved in commu
 nity arts in Dublin and Carlow. See more on www.marycullenkelly.com\nThe e
 xhibition title references the TV series MadMen\; there the ‘carousel’
  is a Kodak slide projector that ‘moves the viewer forwards and backward
 s’ in time.This series of paintings\, prints and objects seek to describ
 e a world that can feel familiar and strange all at the same time. Things 
 are always changing. The artist draws on science fiction movies from the 5
 0s and 60s. Colourful paintings of domestic and ‘small town’ settings 
 draw us in with a whiff of nostalgia\, a sense of the familiar which is su
 bverted as things are not quite as expected. Photopolymer prints and made 
 objects offer clues that the world we are in has been altered. Flora and o
 ther items have appeared nearby. Questions are posed but not answered. The
  world has changed and we are not quite sure where we are.\n\n\n\n
