Visual artists Mary Bowen Galvin, Éadaoin Glynn and Oonagh Hurley are interested in untold and hidden narratives of the female experience in the male world. Each of the three artists is currently experiencing a period of transition in their practice as they explore different methods of expressing shared themes of memory and hidden histories through a female lens. This exhibition responds to the nature and meaning of a corridor space, as reflecting the position and views of women. A corridor is a transient, undefined space travelled through. No one owns it. It is separated and other. It is not quite inside or outside. There are glimpses into rooms and of the outside world, within view but out of reach. It may symbolise a journey from one part of life to another.
