in the glow of a frozen flame, by Brian Teeling & Jennie Taylor, Signed Copies.

Evocative, subversive images and flash fiction populate this publication, capturing and entangling a stillness of a witnessing object and the frantic movements of a living gaze. Time fictionally folds and collapses to bring details from 1921-24 into a dislocated moment. Imagery and storytelling act as tools to slice, swell and exaggerate sculptures, architectural features and historic events. 

Teeling and Taylor’s work is drawn from research of the gallery with a focus on the display of 18th and 19th century sculptural forms in the gallery’s iconic Sculpture Galleries, combined with events that occurred and were visible from the building during the period and the life of a local artisan from the same time.

Designed by Keith Nally, this publication is one of six artists’ projects commissioned by Crawford Art Gallery as part of BUILDING AS WITNESS which is kindly supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries Programme 2012-2023.
