Joy

Utställning på Kulturhuset "Clasac" i Clontarf, Dublin. Tillsammans med textilkonstnären Kari Rosvall. Clasac är ett center för konst, teater och Irländsk musik och dans. 

 

Min Irländska inspiration

Sedan Gala levde på Irland, lyssnar hon ofta på Irländsk musik medan hon skapar. Van Morrison och U2 har varit henns eviga följeslagare. The Water Boys som tonsatt flera av W B Yeats dikter har inspirerat henne under arbetet med utställningen ”JOY”.

 

And It Stoned Me - Van Morrison

 

Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain keep pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin' rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence


Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

 

 

Let the Earth Bear Witness - W.B. Yeats

 

Let the sea bear witness
Let the wind bear witness
Let the earth bear witness
Let the stars bear witness.

They shall be remembered for ever
They shall be alive for ever
They shall be speaking for ever
The people shall hear them for ever.

 

 

 

Sweet Dancer - W.B. Yeats

 

The girl goes dancing there
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth
Grass plot of the garden;
Escaped from bitter youth,
Escaped out of her crowd,
Or out of her black cloud.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!
