earthworks
Courthouse Arts Centre
Tinahely, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
19th October — 14th November 2003

The exhibition earthworks comprised of fifty four artworks — all exploring the relationship between interior and exterior landscapes, and the interlude between time past and time present.

Gregory Seán Sheehan’s primary working medium is turf. Gathered from the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. This turf embodies an intrinsic expressive power which is used to visually combine and weave interior and exterior worlds together.
