Our little earth bound tales / by Lucy O'Donnell.

"This catalogue, our little earth bound tales, is a space where miscarriage or pregnancy without birth plays out, sharing stories untold and erased futures. It accompanies my solo show at The Ballinglen Arts Foundation and Museum County Mayo, Ireland (November 2024 to January 2025). Here, I user pregnancy without birth into sight and rethink uncertainty within the context of drawing and 'becoming'. This catalogue borrows tropes from comics and graphic novels... The work showing in our little earth bound tales looks to drawing, acknowledging its open-endedness as a powerful poetic communicative device to initiate ontological reflections around this loss, The work, despite not always 'looking like' drawing, borrows certain principles from it to be investigative, open-ended, and uncertain and, in doing so, enables erasure and loss as fundamental methods. The title of the show comes from a quote by German artist known as Wols, who saw smallness as sacred."--From page 28.
