International Artists Workshop - Artist Joe Mahony (Scotland)

Artist's Statement

"I am a practicing visual artist working in lens based media. My recent work consists of combining digital and traditional media in the production of installations. I have been constructing optical sculptures (using simple lenses within structures) with video projections. I have been living and working on the Isle of Lewis as artist in residence at the Grianan centre for the past year."

Hi Joe,
This piece is fascinating - a little different from your usual work? Have you shots from different angles you can email.

I find the observant nature of the 'flower' fascinating, its spider like eyes staring back across a landscape, by the sounds of it, seldom seen.

Magical Mahony, I bet that you never thought while you were at school in Korunburra that you would be where you are today....
