GREG DALY
My last exhibition with Skepsi Gallery, the work centred on light and the landscape, this exhibition focuses on Atmospheric light. The light interacting with clouds at sunset or sunrise, the sky during a storm approaching or breaking, as sun breaks through the clouds dark and turbulent.

JOHN DALY
My ongoing desire to lessen my use of resources has resulted in this body of work made almost entirely of recycled materials – waste clay and reclaimed lustre glaze from my father’s spray booth, broken window and bottle glass, and twisted copper pipe. I also desire to add function to my work, so that, beyond being beautiful objects, they might light up a room and illuminate a new path forward.

It is tempting to think that after 30 years of working together, the work of Greg Daly and John Daly would possess a similarity of style. At first glance there seems to be very little connection between their work, as though the two have travelled along parallel paths, one looking to the Sky for inspiration, the other at the Earth. However, looking deeper at their practices, you start to see the link. The familial enthusiasm for creativity and exploration, that has passed from one generation to another. Both artists relish the opportunity for creative discoveries, are sensitive to the smallest hints at new possibilities and are willing to diverge from their paths to explore both well-worn and untrodden creative landscapes.
