Beautiful new work by Deirdre McLoughlin for her current solo show at the NCG in Kilkenny, Ireland. In a recent interview for The Irish Times:
“That a work is beautifully poised is important to me,” she says. But the appreciation of poise stems from something more than sculpture as such. “I dance,” she says, “I mean, I’m no dancer, but I enjoy dance.” In Ireland she attended Kalichi’s dance workshops. “I’ve learned more about form through dance than from drawing. That’s where the feeling in the work of being alive comes from.”
I love to think of her work with a dancer's poise. That's exactly it. And here she is in her amazing studio on Prinseneiland.
