The world for us all feels very different
today than it was just a couple of
months ago.
The situation with the coronavirus has
changed so much of what we take for
granted very quickly. We feel worried
about the most vulnerable in our
families and communities. We worry
about the implications financially.
Perhaps most of all, it is the feeling of
simply not knowing what is going to
happen, which is causing all of us to feel
increasingly anxious.
Not knowing what will happen next
week or next month is very difficult for
all of us who are so used to feeling we
know where we are in life, to feeling in
control.
Even though so much of what is
happening is new it also reveals what
has always been there, that we do not
know what tomorrow will bring. But
perhaps it can also help us to see what is
most valuable in life, our care and
support for eachother and the precious
nature of life itself.
The Christian faith does not imagine a
God who will protect us from the reality
of life, but one who reveals himself in
Christ as found in the unpredictable and
often tragic nature of life.
What we do believe and trust is that
nothing can separate us from the love of
God shown to us in Jesus Christ. A love
which is stronger than death and indeed
the fear of it.

FREE ADMISSION
Light is life
Light is colour
Light reveals...
The moment where sunshine illuminates a face or
creates a glorious and fleeting pattern in nature, the
magical twilight hours where artificial and natural light
come together, the riotous neon of the city at night or the
frosty magnificence of the Milky Way, these are the
inspiration behind this exhibition.
A Play on Light is a distillation of Kieran’s life’s work
hitherto - a rich collection of people and places from
round the world that encapsulates his relationship with
life, colour and light. Always the light...
Kieran Slyne
As a 13 year old growing up in the Irish city of Cork,
Kieran « just knew » he had to take photographs - he
mowed lawns, did paper rounds and washed cars to find
the money for his first camera, an East German Praktica
LB. Money that wasn’t spent on film and developing
went on buying photography magazines as he gained
inspiration from the greats of the 1970s, while his
remaining spare time was spent at the Everyman
Playhouse and the Cork Opera House doing sound and
lighting as well as taking pictures for use in posters.
The big move to Dublin came when, at 19, Kieran was
selected out of hundreds of applicants for a job in RTÉ,
the Irish national broadcaster. Working for many years
as a lighting cameraman, mainly for documentaries,
Kieran has travelled the world always seizing the
moment to take stills. His work has been widely
published in newspapers and magazines as well as being
used for album covers.
