New Irish WorksDublinRobert EllisNew LineThis body of work documents the space inhabited by a small alternativecommunity in the west of Ireland. By exploring the private world created by thepeople that live here through the harsh depths of winter and the warm fertilityof summer, this work seeks to engage with this place and its inhabitantsrather than expose it. The images tell the stories of the people that belonghere but only ever show a glimpse of their presence.Shannon GuerricoLibre et SauvageLibre et Sauvage is a revisiting of the Romantic fascination for an almightynature. It is however a constructed reality built from fantasies and nourishedby inspiration from literature and visual art that results in nature being utilisedas a decorative element.18 19
