Peat & Potatoes: Irish peat and potato skins, 2021
The long winter has finally turned to spring. Its beauty is haunted by the turbulence of the pandemic and the wrath of war. This short video is one creative response to the war in Ukraine: VALOR.
I spent a month in Co.Kerry, Ireland at Cill Rialaig before omicron appeared, at pre-famine stone cottages overlooking the Atlantic facing Provincetown! For my Peat & Potatoes project, I worked with indigenous materials of peat, peat ash and potatoes and absorbed the mythos of the people and the ancient landscape (see Bible above, on view at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) through May 8).
The Provincetown Pilgrim Monument Museum's (PMPM) summer exhibition includes my video, Provincetown 2020: 36 Solar Lights, created during lock down and premiered at the 2021 Provincetown International Film Festival PIFF.
The 39th Re-Rooters Day Ceremony on January 7 took place on a blustery and wet day with 30 souls bundled up and present.The theme: Meta-purse (esrup-ateM)
Check out my merch!
Looking forward to a safe and open summer. Hope to see you.
Thank you.
Peace, Jay
