The lovely Aoife was part of The Drawing Room exhibition at No.12 Henrietta Street. The exhibition consisted of contemporary artworks including photography, architecture, ceramics, drawing, painting, illustration and installation. The aim of The Drawing Room was to gain public awareness of the beautiful Georgian houses and buildings scattered around Dublin by creating a series of music and art events in these alternative settings. Aoife’s work in the exhibition is part of her own practice, Ruby-Sky photography. Her work investigates the contrast of feminine figures against the strong architecture of the North Georgian Quarter. Aoife has created images which conjure up wonder and perplexity from the viewer. Very little about the figure in the photograph is revealed leaving it to the viewer to make the connection between person, place, and space. In the same space there was a series of contrasting images by Janet Williams of Blackbird Boulevard photography. Amused, inspired and perplexed by the scenes she sees daily whilst walking through Dublin city center, Janet’s work aimed to offer up a scene per photo which comes with little to no explanation. Taking inspiration from the work of Gregory Crewdson and David Lynch; sometimes different is a lot more familiar than we think.
