‘Ceo Maidin Ag Ardú’ Rising Morning Mist 29”x 19.5” Wools, silks, threads.
Each day I pass this gateway, each day it looks different depending on the morning. There is beauty in the familiar. Here I have tried to capture the mist burning off the hills ‘as the sun reveals the tendrils of morning – a new day’
Caóilfíonn’s work for ‘Silver’ centres around feelings of belonging. Belonging to her tribe of likeminded and supportive artists underneath the creaking boughs of Bridge Street Studios has greatly affected her progression as an artist and given her a sense of belief in trusting her instincts. In the words of Barbara’s poem, Caóilfíonn took solace in the notion that each new day, no matter how dark, brings new things, hope is on the horizon. The bleakness of 2020 made her take stock of her native haunts in Covid 19 restrictions, step out of the race and appreciate the beauty and importance of simple pleasures.
