Painting

Dan Flaherty

GANDHI AND THE KNITTING OF DUST

The installation piece, pictured, confronts the viewer with scale and a dense network of suspended imagery, each with its own narrative, appearing to be randomly juxtaposed, forcing the viewer to negotiate through the gaps of this gestaltian structure. Accumulated since September, the piece as a whole, is a record of time and of mythical creation. Comprising images of construction, video stills and per-formative documentation.

This art is one of spontaneous growth, open to influence in terms of process, context, social and cultural mores. This process relies on a post-structuralist defined freedom and maintains that the idea, the context, is the primary factor in the making of art, its aesthetic structure is mutable and symbiotic to space.

Dan Flaherty’s practice alludes to that which is hidden. This is intimated at through his use of family secrets, ambiguity and the great myth maker, Cinema, as in the appropriation of Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi (1982). Using language theory to explore meaning and myth, the work expresses the desire/ritual of detection, where memory is an unchallenged suspect. The scrutiny of this Prima facie memory, enables the creation of immersive installations which gambol between the personal and the wider social sphere.
