Overview
Curated by Miranda Driscoll, Irish Arts Center curator-in-residence
Inspired by “Pied Beauty,” a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins celebrating the diverse and disparate nature of existence, visual artist Maud Cotter’s solo exhibition questions the nature of form and physical reality. Concepts are liquid, finding form and cohesion through making, calling into question the very nature of physical reality and the place of human will within such a mercurial mix. Bringing together works developed from 2015 onward, Cotter offers transcendent visions of the materials she uses.
