“Tributary”, consists of nine screen printed images of discarded agricultural waste barely recognizable of their former use. The second part of “Tributary” is a three minute video piece of the river which flows directly below the debris.

An inveterate traveler and explorer of other cultures, Wendy brings many memories and influences to her work. She is particularly fascinated by folk religion and iconography. Wendy is passionate about the craft of print-making, and uses various techniques, traditional and modern, including etching, linocut, wood-block and screenprinting. A focus of her current work is the abstract interpretation of landscape and the built environment.

All of the plates for these etchings are made by drawing directly from life, in one sitting. This gives Cliona Doyle’s prints their characteristic energy and sense of place. She captures the bough of a Fig tree drooping under its own weight and the subtle, faded rose of a Quince tree in bloom. Her new work from Italy features a more linear style and a warmer, airy range of colour. Little details of undergrowth and the occasional butterfly hint at similarities in Renaissance paintings by Botticelli and Fra Angelica. In the best tradition of botanical art, these prints transform natural forms into pure, abstract composition.

“I am interested in the relationship between the spiritual and the physical. I begin my compositions spontaneously, allowing subconscious information to emerge quickly, then develop these into visual narratives - stories to myself that explore this relationship”
