The paces of human and geological time are at the centre of this show. In the film, the camera gliding slowly down the sparkling stalactite, time is measured in millennia, but also in the brief notes sung by a boy soprano to the drips of the million-year-old rock. Sound is matched to vision – the fine high notes that might shatter the crystal, the little voice against the immense rock – in a subtle metaphor of awe and fear.

A good many works by the great Irish artist Dorothy Cross that evoke the deep blue in some form or other, not least her electrifying Ghost Ship, in which she covered a disused lightship with luminous paint and moored it off Dún Laoghaire harbour, where it haunted the coastline with its spectral glow, perfectly evoking the seafaring past as a mirage.

‘Dorothy Cross was much taken with the amateur zoologist Maude Delap, who lived a life that, from the outside, may have seemed marked by personal disappointments and the social and cultural limitations and constraints of her time, but was also extraordinarily rich and fulfilled.’

(Dorothy Cross’s) works draw much of their darkly humorous power from their ambiguous echoes of human sexual organs. Like the stuffed-snake works, however, they also draw on a particular animal’s accumulated wealth of symbolic associations across many cultures.
