Abstract

Homer's Ghost was a solo exhibition held at PAPER Gallery, Manchester in September 2019.
Homer’s Ghost, presented a new suite of paintings derived from a poem by the Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh Epic (1959). Kavanagh reflects upon the age; ‘I have lived in important places, times/When great events were decided’. He describes a local quarrel between two Irish farmers. He notes how it wasn’t until Homer’s Ghost ‘came whispering to my mind’ that he realised that Homer created the Iliad from ‘such a local row’.
