Michelle Boyle’s work explores people and place from everyday life expressed in her distinctive spontaneous and fluid way. ‘
MessageI am a fisherman and a fly fishing guide. The river Boyne is a place of work. Here, I teach people to fly fish. I also teach them how to read the river. How to understand it’s moods and rhythms, where the fish lie and how the ever-changing water conditions affect their behaviour. The water communicates to the angler. Revealing hidden things that others cannot or choose not to see. With careful observation and contemplation of the water, the angler can unlock the river’s secrets.
What would the water say to me –
“ I share my fish with you. Defend me”
