Past Exhibition: Traces

An exhibition by five local artists exploring the 'traces' which built heritage has left behind in the rural landscape in the mid and east Antrim area.

Traces is a project by a collective of five local artists - James Hughes, Paul Jordan, Chirs Neilly, Maurice Orr and Bertie Pennie.  Increasingly, in a transient age, we are all looking for a sense of place to root ourselves, as belonging supports purpose and purpose defines us. The work undertaken has in many ways the complex impulse behind collecting which we all have. Traces can be superficially seen as a being a lament - an essay on loss, but  more accurately it is purposeful recording and remembering so as not to forget.
