Wish you were here

‘Wish you were here’ began as a response to the stop-start movement of COVID-19 by artist Kelly O’Dempsey.

The exhibition transforms the monotony of pandemic life into a mesmerising carnival of ghostly shapes, inspired by objects from around the artist’s home.

Using video, light installation and augmented reality, O’Dempsey invites you into an immersive space that celebrates the joy of the everyday.

Redcliffe Art Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
