Leslie Nicholl and Colin Dardis: 'The Wide Justice'
Across the first half of 2014, artist Leslie Nicholl and Colin collaborated on a project based on the Greek myth of the love between Orpheus and Eurydice. Paintings and sketches were created alongside a sequence of poems, each inspiring the other.
The resulting exhibition, with poems, was displayed in the Linen Hall Library in October 2014, as part of the Northern Ireland Mental Health Arts and Film Festival. A reading of a thirteen poem sequence by Colin accompanied the exhibition.
Red more about the exhibition at Culture Northern Ireland and Belfast Telegraph. Two of the poems, The Slip and The Turn, were published in Metamorphic: 21st Century Poets Respond to Ovid, published by Recent Work Press in Nov '17. Light Source was also a winner in the Fun Palaces #WriteScience Poetry Competition 2015.
