'No need to worry, everything's under control'

Exploring the idea of the artistic processes of creating and combining ideas, aesthetics, visual experience methods and obsessions, Hannah Doyle and Michael Murphy, two artists of the'Moxie Dublin' art group present their first collaborative installation 'Its Better on the shelf than in the wrong cupboard'

We will create a unified collaborative installation that stems from our individual practices as we converse and fabricate over the period of a week. This will take place in our studios and in the gallery space. Using both our conceptual and visual methodologies combined, we intend to display work that is concerned with process, curiosity and aesthetics. Obsessional habits being a focus for the work.

In our individual art practices Hannah is concerned with observation, collection, colour, humour and interaction. Whilst Michael's interest lies in the investigation of space and ways in which it can be manipulated and inhabited.

They danced a merry dance.

Every night the stars would twinkle as the dance began! There were fish, dogs, dolls, all sorts. They all joined in in this dance! This celebration!

Oh they were a mischievous bunch of creatures, they would mess-act all night long. And little Roisin would watch. She would clamber from her bed and down the garden path, to the end of her garden where this dance took place.

Roisin loved to watch the creatures as they danced and sang!

This to her... was freedom.
