Point of Perspective exhibition in the Saldanha Gallery. |
Lindsay says the origins
of ‘The Point of Perspective’ group art exhibition came
about as a result of aspiring to celebrate Donegal’s
rich natural resources, including its amazingly
beautiful landscapes and spectacular, rugged coastline
carved out for millennia by fierce winds and heavy
Atlantic swells.
“Donegal is such an emotional landscape of mountainous
peaks, the highest trails, and Ireland's highest point
of landscape perspective”, she said. “Indeed, it’s such
an idyllic setting to reach the furthest point of
perspective through the process of art". |
