Paul Kenny: Seaworks

Image from Bun na Spéire (The Bottom of the Sky) a work which Paul describes as a moving still. Paul commissioned the composer and musician Richard J Birkin to create an original score. It is a meditation; a fifteen minute visual and aural experience; it is created using seawater and scraps of metallic flotsam and jetsam collected from a beach at Downpatrick Head. The title is the Irish term for “horizon,” the literal translation of which is “bottom of the sky." The film comprises a set of slowly evolving still images that can hypnotise and sooth viewers over the course of fifteen minutes.
