Eileen Fair and Gary Robinson: Nósanna

from Saturday 7 March
Eileen Fair and Gary Robinson: Nósanna | from Saturday 7 March  | Roscommon Arts Centre | Image: photo, black-and-white; it appears to be of an artist drawing onto pieces of paper or fabric that is clothes-pegged to a clothes-line; they are blowing in the wind, and the artist is stretching up their right arm to draw; we only see from waist up of the artist; conifers and a bare tree or two in the background
Opening Reception Saturday 7 March at 2pm

Curated by Eamonn Maxwell, Nósanna explores the transformative power of the ritual in Irish art and life. Eileen’s installations reimagine relics and Catholic rites from twentieth-century Ireland by assembling found objects and natural debris into delicate, hybrid artefacts. Arranged in curiosity cabinets, her forms commemorate and subvert traditional rituals, forging new meanings from discarded material. Gary’s “Wind Letters” channels the invisible language of the wind through meditative performances at sacred sites across the Midlands, using asemic writing and photography to capture fleeting presences tied to place and belief. His work, deeply influenced by the Longford landscape, focuses on process and the intangible. Together, both artists invite audiences to reflect on memory, interpretation, and Ireland’s layered culture of ritual.

Eileen Fair and Gary Robinson were both selected from our Roscommon Arts Centre’s 2025 Hivernal exhibition.
