Solipsism Series was exhibited at Macroom Town Hall, Co. Cork as part of ‘World View of an Oyster’ exhibition curated for Cork County Council 2013. In this series, printed digital artworks based on 19th-century maritime paintings of Cork Harbour by George Mounsey Wheatly Atkinson and Cork landscapes by 18th-century artists Nathaniel Grogan and John Butts, were digitally manipulated to remove their subject matter of ships and people, changing the focus of attention to the backgrounds creating a different reading of the images away from the solipsistic human-centric towards a non-human reading. These works have been printed on hahnemühle photographic paper and mounted on Dibond.
