Meath County Council Arts Office & Solstice Arts Centre present the Going Solo Award Exhibition

Going Solo is an exhibition of work by Sinéad Fahey from Dunboyne, the 2010 winner of the Meath County Council Arts Office in association with Solstice Arts Centre ‘Going Solo Award’. This award is intended to support recent graduates of art living in, or from Co. Meath and to assist young and emerging artists in the development of their professional careers.

Of her work Sinéad says ‘the first step in making the work I make, and the main point of consideration in looking at the finished product, is to understand that it is an art that does not, and should never, take itself too seriously. It comes from two things, a disregard for logic, and a distortion of childhood memory. I enjoy making my images and above anything else I want the viewer to enjoy the experience when looking at them. The best reaction I could hope to receive is a smile because then I know that the work has done what its supposed to do, what I wanted it to do…’

Sinéad Fahey graduated from NCAD with a BA (Hons) in History of Art and Design and Fine Art in June 2009. She has exhibited in group shows in the Cross Gallery and Monster Truck Gallery, Dublin, and was a winner of the AXA Purchase Prize, NCAD June 2009.
