Fingal County Council’s Arts Office is pleased to announce the presentation of new artwork by Fingal artist Adam Gibney – Tidal Composition 1: Fall and Rise. This project was funded through Fingal County Council’s Public Art Programme – Infrastructure under the scheme’s Public Art Award category.
On Thursday 15th May, we invite you to experience the culmination of Tidal Composition 1: Fall and Rise. Central to this project is the SALIE (Sound and Light Interactive Emitter) network - a technological bridge between the Irish Sea and our inner emotional landscapes. This new artwork will be launched as part of this years ‘Hello How Are You?’ Event organised by Thrive Balbriggan in conjunction with partner organisations and individuals.
Adam worked with Thrive Balbriggan and Empower to facilitate engagement with their WRAP Programme participants who brought the SALIE’s and the calming, meditative properties of the sea into their homes. Adam and writer Louise Lewis invited the participants to write thoughts and create images inspired by their interactions with the artwork through a series of workshops. Their words and experiences have formed a beautiful collective poem, the words of which will be visible as a multi-screen installation on Balbriggan beach.
