Making light of the daily grind

If there is one thing gridlocked Galway city residents know about, it is the mundanity of the daily commute.

Artist Siobhán Moore reminds us that we should, however, never tire of the spectacular beauty that surrounds us in the west of Ireland, as we trudge home or rush to work.

Her exhibition The Commute opens this evening, Thursday, September 4, at Portershed a Dó, at 7pm, and runs for the rest of the month.

“I never tire of the spectacular scenery on my journey along this special coast.” says Moore, who worked in healthcare before studying Fine Art at ATU.

“These paintings document the beauty that surrounds me: the way the light shifts across the water, the glow of the Burren’s ancient stone, the outline of the islands beyond, and the horizon stretching far into the distance. I wanted to capture those fleeting moments, glimpsed every day, but rarely paused to appreciate, yet which help me feel connected to this place, through rainlight and sunset, mist and tide, each morning and evening.”
