The group (Ger­aldine Downey, Andrew Eccle­stone, Stella Ramage, Paul Hol­ley and Jor­dyn O’Keeffe) gave them­selves the wide brief for the exhib­i­tion of cre­at­ing images inspired by the word ‘enigma’. The brief exhib­i­tion cata­logue explains that they were “Aim­ing to make space for a slower, deep­er vis­ion amongst the tor­rent of visu­al inform­a­tion that swamps us every­day. We wanted to pro­duce images which asked more ques­tions than they answered, to arouse a flick­er of intrigue, a shiver of unease, or cre­ate a pause for thought.”
