Julie Corcoran’s Exhibition ‘Looking for Light’ will open at Solas Gallery, Ballinamore on Friday

22 nd October at 7.30pm. Based in Co Cavan, Julie has developed an ethereal photographic style

as a way to communicate concepts exploring the human condition.

‘Looking for Light’ is an exhibition of works rich in symbols. Julie Corcoran’s conceptual

photography is based on strong feminine visuals that are processed on computer to look more

like paintings than traditional photographs.

“The issues I’m most passionate about are the treatment and perception of women in social,

cultural and political contexts. I utilise strong visuals to deliver a message of empowerment.

Particularly in relation to gender and identity; challenging the misogynist’s agenda,

championing the power of self-belief”

Strongly influenced by the writings of Marina Warner, this exhibition is also a reaction to the

Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation Final Report.

The exhibition will be opened by long-time friend and singer song writer, Dara MacGabhann.

Dara is one half of jazz duo, “The Two Fives Ones” and has worked widely in the Irish music

industry.

Dara set up MOPOSOG’s, Monaghan Poets and Songwriters Group ten years ago. Julie and Dara

regularly collaborate on creative projects and Julie is honoured to have Dara open her

exhibition at Solas Gallery.

The exhibition will run until Saturday 13 th November.

Solas Art Gallery is located above the Four Seasons Garden Centre on Ballinamore Main St. N41

D2X3

Open 10am -6pm Tuesday to Saturday.
