When I wrote a review on @garybgary' work for @CircaArtMag last year I wondered if #Brexit would happen. I've been updating the countdown since, hoping that I would never have to finish it. Yesterday this live piece finished. Those 18 Nautical Miles seem wider this morning.

A thread of texts from 2019: 2019 kicked off with a piece for @VisArtsIreland on Eight, where I chatted to Eoin about the gallery and it’s legacy in the city: “Any space or scene that nourishes inclusivity and a supportive community could manifest Eight’s intended legacy.”

Last few hours to see the PhotoIreland//Inspirational Arts Award show in @TLP_says.

Today @TLP_says looking forward to hearing from all of the finalists including #garybyrne @BAPhotoDIT for the @fineartprinting #PhotographyAward2019 when they give a #Public #ArtistTalk @5pm @TLP_says @PhotoIreland #Photography

Back looking at art again after a break, & nice to catch-up on what’s showing in & around Dublin. Also nice to catch-up with @garybgary’s 18 Nautical Miles which is on show in @TLP_says as part of their annual award with Inspirational Arts.

Gary Byrne, a photography graduate of TU Dublin, has been shortlisted for the Inspirational Arts Photography Graduate Award. Gary joins graduates from @griffithcollege, @myIADT and Limerick School of Art & Design @LimerickIT. #WeAreTUDublin tudublin.ie/explore/whats-…
