The following quote by the theatrical absurdist, Eugene Lonesco was offered to Maurice Doherty, as a potentially useful way of shedding some flickering illumination on his practice:
John Beagles

" To discover the fundamental problem common to mankind. I must ask myself what my fundamental problem is, what my most ineradicable fear is. I am certain then to find the problems and fears of literally everyone. That is the true road into my darkness, our darkness, which I try to bring to the light of day...A work of art is the expression of an incommunicable reality that one tries to communicate - and which sometimes can be communicated. That is its paradox and its truth."
Eugene Lonesco

Exhibition supported by the Scottish Arts Council and The City Of Edinburgh Council
