A landscape that folds in on itself and stretches outward at the same time, moving in slow, rhythmic pulses like breath.
An in-between space, where things shift, where the horizon isn’t fixed, and where light doesn’t just illuminate but seems to move with the land.
A living boundary. A place on the verge of becoming something else.
It’s not a map of a real place, but a feeling, a pause, or a turning point.
Where the world inhales and then exhales.

The First Frontier was the Horizon, the second survey exhibition marking the 20th anniversary celebrations of Solstice Arts Centre, showcases the work and practices of many emerging and established artists originating from County Meath.
Highlighting our continued commitment to fostering local and regional artistic talent, The First Frontier Was the Horizon includes a wide range of local artists with a previous connection to Solstice Arts Centre. This expansive exhibition demonstrates the evolving multi-disciplinary practices emerging from the region, reflecting the breadth of visual inquiry through a selection of painting, ceramic, photography and sculptural installation.
The First Frontier Was the Horizon takes its title from one of the featured artworks by Jennifer O’ Brien, whose sculptural practice explores aspects of exploration and discovery. This pioneering sense of exploration and deep enquiry is reflected in many of the artworks on view in the exhibition.
Now, I'm focused on the river Boyne as a site of investigation.
The sense of expansion and of the work growing out past the initial boundaries.
