Territories – Niamh Clarke

Friday 1 May – Saturday 13 June 2026

‘Territories’ is a touring exhibition by QSS artist Niamh Clarke. The exhibition is a reiteration and continuation of work shown in ‘Interiorities’ at Custom House Studios, Westport, September 2025.

This exhibition presents moments of recognition, personification and shared human experiences. In a year shaped by questions of endurance and trace, Niamh Clarke’s work draws us towards what is submerged or half-seen, where meaning gathers slowly through attention, gesture, and material. The exhibition invites viewers to consider what is preserved, what is eroded, and what persists just beneath the surface.

Some words from the artist:

“I see myself as the flaneur who traverses the interior territories of others, always a spectator, a shadowing other. I experience what has flowed through others, but now my drawings exist as evidence, a tender act. But I can only experience what I myself already know, each artwork is always a self-portrait, a glaring admission, a revelation.”
