Get Away From It All (Cromac St)
ARTIST
Katie Watchorn
ABOUT THE WORK
The phrase ‘Get Away From It All’ often refers to escapism, holidays or time-off or a retreat from urban centre to the idyllic countryside. Often, the countryside is a place to pass through or a place to indulge in respite, as opposed to a being considered a highly contemporary place of labour, chaos, and technological development. Get Away From It All (Cromac St) is a digitally layered poster of accumulated research and an accompanying series of 8 unique cast aluminium babla seed heads made by the artist during a two month period the artist spent at Leitrim Sculpture Centre in Spring 2022.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Katie’s practice is rooted in the rhythms of farming and land management. Primarily sculptural, she often employs fickle, agriculturally specific materials in combination with familiar rural motifs and ubiquitous objects and forms from her surrounding environs. These re-situated encounters aim to establish a new awareness of a contemporary rather than a vanished existence.
