Another Time Undone – Vivienne Dick, Jill Quigley, and Adrian O’Carroll

Another Time Undone, curated by Eamonn Maxwell, explores how family, land, and legacy shape artistic practice. Featuring Vivienne Dick, Adrian O’Carroll, and Jill Quigley—all Donegal-born—the exhibition isn’t strictly about Donegal, but rather the lasting imprint of place.

The artists use photography and image-making not to romanticize the region, but to reflect personal, often playful, engagements with memory and environment. Each work records time uniquely, resisting tourist clichés.
Vivienne Dick’s A Skinny Little Man Attacked Daddy (1994), filmed in Donegal, documents her family's daily life. Shown in the county for the first time, it’s accompanied by recent medium-format photographs capturing the landscape of Northwest Ireland.

Adrian O’Carroll presents a new body of work investigating the quiet, fragile relationship between people and nature. His largest piece, Maghera, frames the view from a cave to an empty beach, invoking isolation and reflection.

Jill Quigley’s playful approach disrupts architecture through photography and installation. Her new piece, Frames, frames, frames (wreck tangle), references a deserted cottage in Inishowen, incorporating sculptural elements and a reclaimed section of wall from the site.

The exhibition is accompanied by a commissioned essay from Clare Gallagher.
