“Taking its title from the enigmatic inscription on a seventeenth-century Dutch-made plate, You & i are Earth, edited by Fergus Feehily, is a collection of essays on contemporary art by a wide range of Irish and international writers, all of whom share painting as a starting point. Exploring serendipitous connections and recovered histories, many of the essays lead the reader through a diverse range of thoughts and interests related to memory, music, history, literature, and personal experience.”
