Mairead O'hEocha @ Mother's Tankstation

The entire composition of Mairead O’hEocha’s new show intriguingly, titled, Irises in the Well, is a complete composition, not just a group of paintings, nor even a mere body of work.  Nothing is out of its very particular place, and is balanced, backwards, forwards, but this time between verbal articulation and abstract sensing; competing forces, internal and external, telescopically near and yet simultaneously distant. In none of this are there any negatives, but rather, it all contributes to what makes her paintings, her work, her art, essential, extraordinary, atemporal, and outside, or beyond categorization. They may take time, but after all, they are going to be very long-lived in their place outside of it.
