S.O.S Summer 2014
SUNDAY OPEN STUDIO………With Ryan F Kennedy
I am opening the studio doors one last time before heading to Australia to continue work with international gallery Fehily Contemporary. An intimate invitation to view and interact with works alongside the artist, both the studio and garden will showcase new indoor and outdoor sculptures. Summer 2014 brought new woven metal works, video and time pieces all on exhibit with many for sale.
"Join me and uncover the process behind these and other works as questions are encouraged." RFK

"Hey Young Buck Let Me Tell You Something"
"To Justify"
"To The Wonder"
"And Only We"
New Poems
to justify
is to rationalize
is to apologize
is unjustified
is to buy the lies
is to ask the whys
of unmindful tries
that realize & not actualize
why we, justify
to justify
to apologize & rationalize
to be unjustified
when we, buy the lie
and ask the whys
of unmindful tries unactualized
when we realize are we wise?
cause we, justify
to justify
the rationalized & apologized
lies we buy
and ask the whys of mindless tries
the realized & unactualized
whys we whys
stop,
and ask the question
are we wise?
-----------------------------------------------
whats inside
an equitable division
of seeing split vision
amidst our pasts
an unknown future casts.
here it comes,
the most formidable &
unforgivable, present
a swift & timely gift
of altering unity a shift.
-----------------------------------------------
waiting for the shift we harpooned the wind
exchanging vessels of blackish water for rancid butter
interminably & perhaps with deeper reason
this journey was to escape that which dominates
for the pace & ease of technology
robs the world of diversity
robs the person of intrinsic ability
reducing the search to sport
adventure to stunt
exploration is the personal quest
not to acquire specimens
nor map the world
such things are incidental
as it is the way, that is worth the while
the moments along each mile
& to speak in any tongue of any travels
tarnishes their achievement
for finding peace in the hardship of the land
or uncovering the nothing on top of Everest you stand
non can be justified
nor materialized
as experiences are not fixed
nor profitable
as they change
loose value
with every story.

A Working Tidal -
Underwater Production Still (RFK, Ana Nieto and Ingrid Silva - *photo by Matthew Anderson) |
This Summer has also brought serious production works in video, the largest of these is a collaborative work with artist Ingrid Silva. Still in the works this is a multi-sensory installation uses video, sound, tactile aspects, and scent to create the experience for the viewer...
TEASER BELOW!!!
"Engaging all senses this installation invites the audience to immerse themselves in the fluidity and trans-formative qualities of water. The luring scent of the sea welcomes viewers as they begin to experience the tactical low lying fog whilst a sea-scape of sound resonates around them. Visual projections expressing duality, birth and submersion enhance the experience. This encompassing installation moves beyond the two dimensional carrying the audience on an emotional journey through the origins of life."
