Taking place in Platform Arts, Belfast; From Dust united four artists — Cian Handschuh, Anna Heisterkamp, Fíne Holohan, and Shane Malone-Murphy — in their mutual respect of material and land. The artists approach sustainability in practice with a contemporary mindset, thoughtfully collecting, selecting, and creating each material they use. Their meticulous choice of mediums imbues each artwork with significant meaning, and results in a much slower process of creation in today’s pre-packaged, ready-made world. The exhibition celebrates the beauty derived from attentiveness to the natural world and considers the question of how artists can create without the simultaneous act of destruction.
