Easy Return
(2021)
Two-person collaborative exhibition with filmmaker and visual artist Éanna Mac Cana.
'Easy Return' is a conceptual, narrative-based multimedia exhibition considering ideas relating to faith, acts of care and healing, and the cyclical nature of each. It expands upon a short story which was written by the artists (read it here). Inspired by an anecdote told to Mac Cana during his own time as an inpatient, the narrative tells of a woman who loses her rosary beads whilst in convalescence, and of the nurse who restores them, returning them to her in an act of goodwill and preservation of faith.
This exhibition was partly influenced by the 14 Stations of the Cross. As a result, the 'Easy Return' story is told in 14 plot points which serve as a reference and inspiration to the sound, paper and installation work.
Mac Cana's soundscape for the exhibition is available to listen in full here.
