‘Scratching the Surface’ is a joint exhibition by Isabelle Gaborit and Janet Mercer. Both artists live and work in the west of Ireland, are inspired by the landscape, its light, forms, and rugged textures, yet each produces their own personal response to this stimulus. They are both interested in the physicality of the landscape and the physical processes of making art and of their chosen media.
