Exploring the nature of time through art

A new exhibition by Martin Healy at Cork’s Crawford Gallery is an open-ended multimedia exploration of the nature of time, says Alan O’Riordan

THE artist Martin Healy comes to the Crawford Gallery in Cork with a major exhibition of recent works, opening today. The exhibition, displayed over two floors, includes a number of new photographic and sculptural works and two film pieces, Harvest and A Moment Twice Lived.

The latter’s title, from which the show takes its name, alludes to a key concern for Healy: The nature of time, something he sees as a point of connection between the show’s various elements. “I’m not sure there is a single, simple premise,” he says, “but if I had to think of a connective for them, it would be that they have something to do with time, and our perceptions of time.”
