Annita Furey
Vanishing Continent
13 - 24 March 2024
G3
Opening Night
Friday 15 Mar | 6 - 8pm
◼︎
These images are in praise of extant nature, nostalgia for what has been erased and refer to the reality of disappearance. Within a Euro/landscape trope, cartographic remnants of this unique continent float, fade, sink below the horizon or react. This is the landscape of loss, renewal, solidarity with the natural world and the imagination of the possible.
