“You advance always with your head turned back?” or “is what you see always behind you?” or rather “does your journey take place only in the past?”
Italo Calvino

Stephen McGlynn’s work utilizes the processes of printmaking, printed matter and lens-based media. Predominantly narrative led, his work often takes the guise of site-specific installation, and usually incorporates textiles, print, or appropriated objects.

Bláthnaid Ní Mhurchú‘s work develops out of the process of working through assembling or disassembling of found objects, photographs and drawings. Architecture and spatial relations play a role in her work.

Working my way back to you is a collaboration between Ní Mhurchú and McGlynn. Beginning with the idea of a journey, Ní Mhurchú and McGlynn have shared a constant exchange of ideas and criticism of one another’s work over the course of a number of years. Both artists have dedicated many months to a series of exchanges through text, work and ideas. Working my way back to you marks a point of convergence along a greater, dialogic process.
