Project Arts Centre presents ‘An Unconformity’ by Bridget O’Gorman to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2025
This piece includes an excerpt of text from a work in progress piece as part of ‘Deep Time’, a nonconforming, collective research project. The work was commissioned by EVA International as part of the 41st EVA International Platform Commissions, selected by Iarlaith Ní Fheorais and Roy Claire Potter. It is supported by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and the creative support initiative field:arts, and was produced by Iarlaith Ní Fheorais and Hannah Wallis.
‘Deep Time’ stems from ongoing research around sustaining a practice in a disabled body. Applied slowness alongside an overt acknowledgement of support and interdependency forms an integral part of this inquiry. The ‘Deep Time’ publication will be launched at PAC in Spring 2025.
In geological terms the word ‘unconformity’ is used to describe two juxtaposing rock layers separated by a sharp line – evidence of how the earth has evolved over an expanse of time far greater than is humanly possible to fathom. This phenomenon represents an absence – or non-recorded time. Evolving studio and writing based research underpinned by the term ‘Unconformity Objects’ considers the body in this context – or bodies which go against the grain of normative timeframes.
A number of different access supports will be available to support audiences with disabilities to engage with this work. Such supports include NaviLens codes, large print documents, braille documents and ISL recordings.

About Bridget O’Gorman
Bridget O’Gorman is an artist and writer. Her practice explores the instability of objects and bodies. Working with live event, text, video and sculptural installation, her enquiries oscillate between material and somatic registers, considering otherness, speculative and expanded corporeal experiences: ultimately informing a dialogue around their social, political and historical resonances.
