The Art of Thin Places

Elizabeth Haines has let us know about her latest exhibition…

She says: “This  exhibition is at Peppers in Fishguard. The theme is Thin Places: a term rooted in ancient belief, but referring to any physical location where the boundary between the mundane world and the divine or spiritual realm is felt to be especially permeable.

“It’s often used to describe sacred sites, perhaps associated with ancient ritual, or areas of great natural beauty.

“In a ‘thin place’, you often feel an acute sense of connection to something beyond the ordinary, a feeling that the distance between human existence and the divine has somehow become porous.

“It has struck me that a painting can also be a ‘thin place’.”

The exhibition opens on Sunday 12 July, 12 noon to 3pm, at Peppers in West Street, Fishguard, SA65 9AE, and continues until 29 August, Tuesday to Saturday 10am-4 pm (Saturdays 3pm).
