Golden Thread does it again.

So I know, I know I'm going on about them again. The golden thread gallery has a Paul Seawright( not sure of the spelling) exhibition on. I first came across him a few years again when the gallery was up in Brookfield mill. After a big trek we were welcomed with a cup of tea and a tour around the space. I was drawn to his work in particular because he got something that other photograhers don't get about Northern Ireland . He went deep into the artistic space of our minds and captured a different angle of the Northern Ireland experience while acting as Artist in residence for the RUC as it was then.

After that he worked on different spaces and then came back to NI to be Professor of Photography at York Street. (at least I think he's a professor) but his work is great and the show has been gathered up from collections all around the world so it's well worth taking a look at it before the 10 January when it ends. WE HAVE TO SUPPORT OUR OWN ARTISTIC TALENT AND NOT JUST THINK PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE ALL THE TALENT.....................and so say all of us..............and so say all of us..............................why not support it before it runs off out of dear old NI................
