Ned Milligan – Considerable (Laaps, 2023)

Chris — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 20:27:30 +0000

One of the words that I’ve been keeping at the tip of my brain for the last six or nine months is “balance”. It’s so easy in this modern world to feel like you’re being squeezed in a dozen different directions all at once, that your life is being lead by forces beyond your control […]

In the last few of years I’ve become increasingly obsessed with the colour green. I suspect this originated watching Tarkovsky films, whose use of colour in landscapes scenes is intoxicating to me, and then further entrenched following a return to the familial homeland of Ireland.

Danny Clay – Ocean Park (Laaps, 2020)

Chris — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 15:43:18 +0000

I don’t want to be here anymore. The house is a cage, an arena that confines thought and inhibits the imagination, stifles the senses and relegates the world to an untouchable otherness. I’ve been reading about the Hebrides recently, of its many islands and storied history, and have found my heart yearning again for the […]
