Wandering Shades, an exhibition by Kate McDonagh, Ballymote Library, 2-31 March
The work in this exhibition is inspired by the 'dance plays' of W. B. Yeats. These plays were influenced by Japanese Noh Theatre which uses mask, dance and chorus. Yeats used masks to evoke a sense of 'otherness' and to create a more profound connection between the play and the audience. The 'characters' of the masks are ephemeral, they emerge purely out of the process of creating them, from the dance with the materials.
