The artist's text
‘I believe that myth is truer than history. I believe that the artistic process is visionary, that artistic investigations into the nature of reality have the potential to prepare the way for scientific discoveries. In the words of James Baldwin, “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.”’

With this belief at the helm of her practice, Irish artist Alannah Robins immerses herself in her surroundings and works intuitively. For many years the driving pulse behind much of her work has been the question of mankind’s relationship to nature, an interrogation into how both mankind and language are characterised by the landscape and vice versa. 

In this exhibition, Alannah approaches the theme of transcendence as an absolute immersion in nature, calling upon the media of intricately cut paper, light and shadow to create an immersive space, in which the viewer becomes a player. 

Small found elements reference states of metamorphosis as another kind of merging with nature. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, people are silenced through transformation into trees/plants/birds as a kind of retribution. The artist points to the echoes of silencing in the colonisation of indigenous nations, where a native language was suppressed in order to uproot a population and to disconnect roots. However, she also puts transcendence in the context of the interpretation of the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who emphasised the importance of human physicality in the 20th century, suggesting a move from our mind, i.e. reason, to our natural environment and perception with the body returned to the sensory world. 

The British writer, artist and mythologist Martin Shaw points out the difference between ‘seeing’, when we only judge the facts, and ‘beholding’, which awakens curiosity and builds stories. The exhibition opens up a space for experiencing the miraculous and bearing witness to this grace. Paper cuts and light work became the starting point for the installation, where the artist immersed herself in the natural world, in the presence of tall trees. Alannah has created work which absorbs the viewers and returns to the feeling of being rooted to the earth. By playing with alternate vanishing points, she invites us to move through a space and to become absorbed by nature.
