📿TOMORROW: ‘Holy Blood’ digital residency by Cat and Éiméar McClay begins 📿 Monday 25 October 2021, 10am on ccadld.org Throughout the residency, Cat and Éiméar will create a digital sketchbook by sharing new and existing work including moving image, writing and digital renders inspired by their research into the legacy of Magdalene Laundries and mother and baby homes across Ireland; this will act as a stepping stone towards a longer video, which they hope to complete in the future.

Post 3/9 I love pushing the boundaries of materials and mediums through experimentation. Delving into the unknown, the unknowingness of something comes with the opportunity of failure. I throughly believe that openness to this failure is where one can thrive! I am exploring the transience of skin in response to latex and medicalised materials. The ethereal, malleable, and delicate qualities of latex accurately depict the properties of skin.

Ageing and illness are the themes I am exploring. (The unseen realities of an invisible illness.) I am observing the preservation of these tablet sheets and empty medication packets, that were once important to my grandmother but then overtime become meaningless. I am preserving these because to me they capture an essence of her, her handwriting, the marks she makes on paper, the days, dates and hours that were so meaningful to her that she marked. As well as empty medication packets with medication she took. In contrast to time, these are things that slow down time, the unseen realities of an invisible illness.

Post 1/9 Primary research: empty medication packets, and ‘tablet sheets’ belonging to my grandmother. Records of days, dates, and times of when she took her medication.

We are @CCADLD on all platforms. Francesca Hutchinson is an Offaly based multidisciplinary artist, born in 1999. She is currently studying in Limerick School of Art and Design, and will be completing her final year in 2021. She takes inspiration from her family’s heritage coming from the Travelling community, her artwork also deals with issues such as depicting an invisible illness and the cycle of life. Her work is “ever evolving” and stems from a variety of inspirations. Her hope for the future is that she can educate and inform the wider audience through her art, about her and her family’s life experiences, through the joy and freedom creativity brings her.

The lough in question has undergone a huge ecological shift in the past 15 years. This change to the lake is irreversible and solely down to human interference. The lough is also the main public water supply for the surrounding region. The event will act as a preview to Ciarán Ó Dochartaigh’s upcoming show at CCA (January–March 2022) and his forthcoming unofficial published guide to loughs of Donegal, which will be launched during the exhibition run at CCA. Be prepared for all terrain and all weather. The event is outside and will last approximately one hour in the lead up to sunset; wearing sensible shoes (boots), layers and bringing torches is recommended. The location of the event will be emailed to ticket-holders 24 hours before the event. Click the link in our bio to book a spot.
