Jill Tegan Doherty

A solo exhibition showcasing British artist Jill Tegan Doherty's new series of graphite works on paper. The moth's reticent, dyadic existence pulses through both this life and one beyond. The Sound of Moths urges us to listen acutely and reverently, reaching into the untouchable recesses of our consciousness, shining a low-lit light over uncharted, otherworldly terrain.The drawings flutter and agitate the technique of automatism, a transcendental state where diffident fragments of subconscious memory stir. Allegories intersect with the paper-thin wings, ethereal whispers entwined as discourse ascends and imagery emerges that eclipses the self’s boundaries, tangible and resonant. Unfurling from the mind’s timid shadows, the moth’s archetypal light guides us, primal instinct illuminating the path. The greatest findings are unearthed while seeking something beyond ourselves and what we already know to exist.

There will be a series of events during the week-long exhibition, including a book launch for the artist's poetry book The Anonymous Self and catalogue The Soft Centre of Bone, as well as live sound performances by invited artists, Ismael Darszon López (performance), Ian Medina (electronics),  Miriam Leo (keyboard, voice) and Tom Kessler (guitar).
