PIGSY's "Sorry Series"

Announcing “The Art of Saying Sorry”……coming soon

PIGSY's "The ART of Saying Sorry..." is an evolving series which will be created during my 2024/25 residencies in Madrid, Spain, This body of work dives deep into the emotional and psychological impact of apologies, particularly the internal dialogue that accompanies self-doubt and regret. Through vivid symbolism and interviews with psychologists, authors, and experts, I am examining how the word "SORRY" serves as both a means of expressing remorse and a quest for redemption.

The series uses a range of materials to convey the fragility and resilience of the human psyche. The works on paper, with their delicate and ephemeral quality, reflect the fleeting nature of apologies, while the pieces on canvas represent more enduring efforts at reconciliation. Additionally, the use of wooden spoons as a medium offers a poignant, light-hearted take on punishment and authority, highlighting the complexities of accepting responsibility. Each element in PIGSY’s work is carefully chosen to emphasize the intricate dance between contrition, vulnerability, and the desire for emotional healing.

Fascinated by the human psyche, I confront the beasts gnawing at my mind through gestural painting. As a member of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, my work is a deconstruction process, delving into subconscious layers with every stroke. By capturing these spontaneous moments I attempt to repair inner scars.
