Postage stamps and the images contained on them are ingrained in our daily consciousness. The Irish poet Gabriel Rosenstock has written a sequence of seventeen bilingual (Irish and English) haiku inspired by a sequence of Irish postage stamps which show Irish personalities such as James Joyce, William Butler Yeats, James Connolly, Countess Markievicz, Roger Casement and others. The singer Caitríona O'Leary and graphic designer Gareth Jones have produced a magical video which combines Rosenstock's text with images of the stamps and O'Leary's imaginative setting of the Irish text (sung by herself, multi-tracked). The project is a product of our times, funded by an Irish Arts Council Covid-19 Response Award, and perhaps we can see a an artistic response to the pandemic in a concentration on small things, but the seven-minute work is a reminder that we should concentrate on the detail as well as the big picture.Rosenstock describes the project as […]

Artists just… know. So do children. They both tell the world their passion through painting. When music becomes part of creating art, magic happens. “Art should make you feel, like music.” -Wassily Kandinsky- Kandinsky is a favorite artist with the children. They like his colorful art, and they want to paint like him. I read aloud the children’s book, The Noisy Paintbox: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract Art, by Barb Rosenstock. When Kandinsky was a boy and first painted, he heard music as the paintbrush mixed the colors of paint. The sounds of music were there throughout his life whenever he painted. He named his pieces of art after the music he heard and loved. Kandinsky understood that music and art are connected. Children do, too! Rowan wanted to paint Starry Night. She used finger paints, and then asked for music. We had introduced Vivaldi’s Four […]
