About The Exhibition
The work of Jill Quigley (1981, Donegal, Ireland) is located between photography and installation. Her recent work has been concerned with the representation of rural Irish life and landscape and disrupting traditional approaches and narratives to this subject. In her acclaimed work, Cottages of Quigley’s Point, she made and photographed a series of playful interventions within abandoned cottages in Donegal. Rural Fluorescent focuses on the presence of high-vis materials and fluorescent colours within rural environments in Ireland.
