This book explores the rich but subtle complexities beneath Helena Gorey’s nature-inspired paintings. Catherine Marshall makes an analogy with Jane Austen who, while seemingly drawing her inspiration from a small, enclosed environment, manages to reveal endless explosive qualities existing within it. Gorey’s abstract style, the tensions she creates, her brushstroke and use of metaphor make for a very distinctive body of work. Reawakening the wonder of that ever-new yet familiar experience is what Helena Gorey’s paintings are about. Ultimately they are about creativity itself.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
