Pallas Heights, 30 Sean Tracey House, Buckingham Street, Dublin 1.
Pallas Heights is delighted to present Sea of Unknowing, an exhibition of new work by Margaret O'Brien.This exhibition continues the artist's exploration into psychological spaces that exist between people, and between our private / public persona. The work touches on issues such as isolation and alienation, claustrophobia, agoraphobia, insecurity, tension and anticipation.
O'Brien makes site-specific installations, location being fundamental to her concerns. She uses installation as a material through which the emotive experience of a space is manipulated to create a disorientating psychological environment. The spaces she interferes with become highly sensory experiences. Sea of Unknowing includes works that exploit the existing architecture of the space through the location of found objects in multiples and their intrinsic sound installations.
