Gerard Daly
Contemporary Applied Art
In my work I try to express the connection between significant events in life and the everyday. This can be any event, from a change in situation, to an event like a death or a loss, or even a joyous occasion like a wedding or a birth.
My work is mostly done in weave, either on a loom or a frame. This is to signify how our lives intertwine with the events that shape and influence those lives. Our life is a weave, made up mostly of mundane, day by day events. However, occasionally an event takes place that upsets the simple repetitive structure of that weave, an aberration in the structure. This shows up as a sometimes slight, sometimes large change in the weave. The more influential the event is, usually, the more the weave is corrupted. Some events can be so influential that they cause aberrations to appear more than once, creating their own pattern within the plain weave of life.
