Acrylic on board
400x500mm

Starting a series featuring creatures called Alotria.

Inspired by a remembrance from times when I was working as a cleaner at Dublin TV&Radio national broadcaster RTÉ in autumn-winter 2006 (for five months cleaning TV and radio studios which was an amazing experience ). Once I was doing a cleaning background for their Christmas TV show (rolled in November) called "The Toy Show" and my manager asked me to hoover a long corridor between two buildings. I was almost in the middle of it when the door on the other side of the corridor opened and these creatures have entered. They have been maybe 30-40 of them, perhaps 120-130 cm tall and going slowly towards me in three rows making undulatory moves.... pretty surreal experience. When they were appr. 5 meters away from me I realized that these were masked and costumed kids having fun acting as aliens.... I guess I will never forget that story
