🔸🔹🔸CURRENT EXHIBITION: DRAW THOUGHT🔸🔹🔸
Runs: March 1st - 25th 2024 as part of Neurodivergence Festival 2024.
At: The University of Galway Art Gallery, The Quadrangle, University Road, Galway, Ireland
I have been having a lot of fun these last few weeks at the University of Galway Scientific Arts Lab @scientificartslab . I was delighted to contributed this piece to their current Draw Thought Exhibition: "Infinity Coloured Marbles" (2024) - Analog Collage - Anthony D Kelly. The work responds to the exhibitions theme of celebrating Neurodivergent thought.
For more from the organisers:
"Last year the University of Galway Neurodivergent Society collaborated with artist Catherine Fleming during a society social event. Catherine photographed society members’ hands while fidgeting with their favourite stim items. Stimming short for self-stimulatory behaviour, refers to repetitive often rhythmic movements, sounds or activities that individuals engage in to self-regulate or self-sooth. Stimming is considered a natural and often comforting way for individuals with neurodivergent conditions to regulate sensory input, manage stress, or express emotions. Societal norms and expectations may sometimes lead to misunderstandings or judgements about these behaviours. It is important to recognise and respect stimming as a valid and valuble aspect of neurodivergent experiences, understanding that it serves a purpose for those who engage in it. From these photographs, Catherine created an original painting “Grasp That Which is Unspoken” –Oil on Canvas- 150cm X 100cm for our Draw Thought Exhibition as part of Neurodivergence Fesitval 2024."
To see Catherine's wonderful painting you can visit her account or better yet attend her artists talk at the gallery tomorrow, Wednesday 13th at 4.45pm. All are welcome.

From the Royal College of Physicians Ireland:
Climate breakdown and human health are highly interwoven
“The exhibition is part of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland’s commitment to advocacy around the huge challenges we are facing triggered by climate change and the impact this will have on the world’s population, which arose as a key advocacy priority during national consultations with our physicians. The College wishes to provide a space for discussion of the challenges of climate breakdown and for the formulation and promotion of solutions to the climate crisis. Art is one way of articulating the personal and collective feelings and stories around this challenge and for envisioning shared solutions that protect health and the planet.
Climate breakdown and human health are highly interwoven. Burning fossil fuels is the greatest contributor to global heating and causes increased rates of cardio-respiratory illness and premature death. Health effects of extreme weather events include hypothermia, dehydration, kidney disease, stroke, malnutrition, and water-borne infections. A paradox is that healthcare delivery itself contributes significantly to global heating. If the healthcare sector were a country, it would be the 5th largest polluter in the world.
We need to find ways to protect our health and protect the planet. How we travel, how we eat, how we consume, how we provide essential services – these can be our stumbling blocks, or they can represent opportunities for a just future.”

More on the project:
"On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Stewart-Swift Research Center, the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History invited an international network of collage artists to engage with historic material in the archive and to create a folio of collage prints that reflect on the idea of community in a 21st century world. Five artists who participated in the project did so from Europe. What did their unique perspective draw from the archive? Artists from Poland, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, and Ukraine will join project curator Ric Kasini Kadour for a conversation about European perspectives on American history and place."

WORLD COLLAGE DAY 2023: Saturday May 13th 2023
I am truely thrilled and honoured to have been selected by the Kolaj Institute as the World Collage Day Artist 2023. The Kolaj Institute alongside Kolaj Magazine do massive work in the exploration and expansion of the potential of collage, in promoting of collage as a medium on the international stage, as well as the training of collage artists through residencies and workshops.

Read more from the organisers below:
“World Collage Day is an annual, international celebration of collage on the Second Saturday of May. Initiated by Kolaj Magazine in 2018, we invited artists and art venues to hold events on that day to celebrate collage. World Collage Day is about artists connecting across borders against a global context of entrenchment and separation. And the day is about an art medium that excels at bringing different things together to create new forms and new ways of thinking. Ric Kasini Kadour, the editor of Kolaj Magazine, writes, “We created World Collage Day because we wanted to honour this community of artists and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation, mutual support, and creativity can look like.”
