Caragh Thuring @ Thomas Dane Gallery

Caragh Thuring takes as the starting point her own painting, The Foothills of Pleasure. Its title, a seemingly familiar literary reference, is in fact imagined by the artist to describe the geology of volcanic landscapes, as well as intensifying human passions. These foothills, fertile but perilous, are a place where life and death coexist and where rock is melted, folded and reformed in an endless cycle.
