An Independents Biennial Exhibition
North X NorthWest
Daniel William O’Dempsey
A series of new poetry works championing conversations about sustainability in its broadest sense – addressing spiritual and mental wellbeing, financial stability, and environmental/domestic waste.
The project intends to prompt introspective responses about self-understanding while challenging our relationship with money, highlighting how our capitalist society is fuelled by intrusive advertising and social media consumption prompts. I want to encourage people to examine their individual consumption habits and waste production through critical thinking and self-observation. The work aims to plant seeds that resonate with people over time whilst celebrating the power of writing and its liberating potential. Regardless of ability, writing should be encouraged, and my public interventions support this ethos.
These billboards and posters are placed in multiple outdoor locations around Merseyside, including:
- Salt + Tar, Bootle, L20 1AA
- Bootle Library, L20 3EN
- The World of Glass, St Helens, WA10, 1BX (indoors during gallery opening hours)
