Gathering of Light: An exhibition by Carrigaline Photographic Society

Gathering of Light is a crucial step in the creation of any photograph so it’s a fitting title for Carrigaline Photographic Society’s latest exhibition which opens in Cork Airport on September 20th to coincide with Culture Night 2013.

Society Chairman Dave Keeley commented that “We’re delighted to be back in Cork Airport following our very successful Insights exhibition there in 2012. I’d like to thank Cork County Council Arts department and Cork Airport for their ongoing support. The airport concourse is an outstanding exhibition venue, readily accessible to the people of Cork as well as visitors from over 50 destinations served by the airport. I hope that all viewers of the exhibition will enjoy the eclectic mix of images displayed by the photographers of Carrigaline Photographic Society.”

His artistic development has progressed from documentary image making, to the creation of highly complex compositions which explore a deeper side of his own psyche. Initially exhibited during the Belfast Photography Festival in June, Sirius Arts Centre has curated an expanded edition of this show for the galleries.
