Family Ties Lewis Glucksman Gallery, UCC
The first piece one encounters on ascending the gallery stairs is Nevin Aladag’s ‘Family Portrait’, a group of five, wall-mounted mirrors. Each is of a different height and width, and none is a comfortable fit, which sums up how most people feel about their role within the family.
The idea of not fitting in is teased out in Eula Vassdosela’s ‘Family Ties’, a series of photographs of families at odds with their shadows.
