Inside Outside

Description:

Inside-Outside is a public art collaborative project by artist Catherine Delaney for Wicklow County Council's Per Cent For Art Programme for 2007-2008. An ephemeral based site specific project in collaboration with six members of the community of Baltinglass town, the project explores the "residue of place" in using and combining the history of the textile industry from the 1700's and in connecting this to the history and cultural cross-over of the different people who are now residing in the town today. The book includes photographic images of work on site, including photographic images taken by the artist from inside Saint Joseph's Convent, which is now lying derelict and soon to be demolished, to make way for a new housing development in the town imbued with a haunting sense of the past, the work traces the presence of a profound absence, preserving the memory of time and life passed by, in emphasising the insignificant marks of the lived in space, reasserting our relationship between place and time, past and present.
