december...a time of light...colour...joy...and warmth. everywhere the eye falls, the simple illuminations of a plastic christmas tree on a neighours window cill...to the cascading fairy lights on the town hall facade...to the love in the bows of the gifts that sit under the tree, even the word brings a tingle to the soul...festive...

dun laoghaire...a town built on granite...painted on stone...dressed in metal...my views in stone...

# 2: Light

winter was closing in on us...the days getting shorter and we choose the subject of light??? the results are two very different sides of our living canvus, dun laoghaire...iris taking on the night and the warmth of the lights of our streets...a haunting light in a shop window...the yellow glow of the street lamp...and the lonliness of a bedroom bulb...i took a slightly more abstract look at the light of our afternoon sky around our town hall...with an end product that is surprisingly thought provocing...not quite still life in the shadows...

# 1: Black

and so the humble beginning of dublin gutter art...sitting on my living room floor like school children tapping away on the keys of my laptop listening to lykke li and that was it...birth...but then there was the matter of our first subject...the decision...black...and the results...as you can see...excellent, iris taking on a solid human look at such a dead end subject and myself going in the opposite diection and being inspired by a haberdashers window...we are both pleased with the result....
