In his latest body of work, Claxton turns to Irish history and contemporary life, taking inspiration from Maya Angelou’s poetry and from the courage of Irish women who have reshaped cultural and political landscapes. Figures such as Constance Markievicz, Sinead O’Connor, Mary Robinson, Catherine Corless, Bernadette Devlin, and Rhasidat Adeleke are presented alongside lesser-known activists, writers, and truth-tellers whose contributions are equally transformative. Working in cyanotype, Claxton produces layered prints that function as both archive and blueprint — spectral imprints of memory and resistance. Rather than conventional portraiture, the works take shape through symbolic traces: a line of text, the outline of a hand, a domestic object, the shadow of a protest. Together, these fragments weave into a collective presence that transcends time.

Join us in this wonderful evening of art, wine and delicious food - a fundraiser for the UAC Art Collection - and an excuse to dress up!
