Beacon is a travelogue which traces Niamh Seana Meehan’s explorations around the coast of Ireland with her dog, Olive. A collection of meditations, sketches, and photographs offer Meehan’s reflections on being in transit and record intimate
conversations with the landscape. Rituals of gathering, floating, and touching invite deep listening and an embodied connection with each place she encounters.
Meehan’s close observations of the natural world are accompanied by The Shush of Starting Rain, an essay by Lucie McLaughlin, which seeks to reflect and think critically about the work artists do in interpreting their surroundings.
Niamh Seana Meehan is an artist working across sound, sculpture, installation, and text. Her practice explores floating as a methodological approach to nurturing our relationship with water and the wider environment. Through acts of sense-making, wayfinding, and deep listening, she invites immersive experiences that explore our entanglements with more-than-human worlds. Her work has been exhibited at The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; An Táin Arts Centre, Dundalk; and Art Arcadia, Derry.
