Today we visited the Hugh Lane art gallery. This piece by Harry Clark is made with stained glass. I read the informational brochure and found out that Harry Clarke can be credited with reviving the medium of stained glass which suffered a serious decline in Ireland. I  tied this piece of work to place because Harry Clarke took initiative to revive the art of stained glass art. This shows that he truly cared about his country having its place in art and participating in the art world.

The work of art titled The Eve of St Agnes was made using double layered glass, repeated lay acid etched to produce diverse tones and vibrant colors (Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane).

I also saw the Francis Bacon Studio. I thought it was interesting that even though it w as moved from London to Dublin it still has a sense of truely belonging here because Dublin is where Francis Bacon is from.  this has a lot to do with place because one could argue that Dublin did not shape Francis Bacons work. I really enjoyed this exhibit because the art studio looks frozen in time. Time is insignificant to place regardless of how much time goes by memory will not change or at least not very much. So for Francis Bacon’s studio time does not affect the way the studio impacts viewers. It is especially timeless. So, Francis Bacon’s studio embodies a certain liminality because it has physically occupied more than one space and place.
