Does Yellow Run Forever? New works by the photographer
Violet bedding swathes a sleeping woman, her arm poised in a gentle arc across her brow. A double rainbow emerges from a verdant field. Dark clouds hover above a pawn shop where luminous rays of light cut through the clouds to illuminate their readiness to buy gold. Variations of these three motifs comprise Paul Graham's latest body of work: pieces of rainbows arcing across the Irish landscape, crude gold-pawn shops dotting the streets of New York, and tender images of a woman (his partner) asleep in bare-walled rooms, to reveal bittersweet dreams of desire deferred and the promise of happiness that might be found, if we only knew where to look. Does Yellow Run Forever? takes Graham's nuanced approach to the ephemeral and quotidian, introduced with 'a shimmer of possibility' and 'The Present' but shifts it from the scale of the social to a more personal and emotive context. Opening Friday, 7 November 2014, 6-9pm.
