Art: What Lies Beneath

The move from Sligo to Dublin when Ed Kelly was very young “was a huge transformation. I’ve always been conscious of having one foot in a rural, romantic, folklore-obsessed world and the other in a modern, suburban-urban one. Both locations informed my thinking when it comes to making art.”
