The group reached the end of Ulysses last week. A new round of the book is beginning on Thursday, 6 April 2017. Everyone is welcome – first-time readers and recidivists.
To conclude this round, Catherine Meyer, local artist and long-standing member of the reading groups, sends a last painting with these words:
To conclude this round, Catherine Meyer, local artist and long-standing member of the reading groups, sends a last painting with these words:
The idea for my picture was to capture the various feelings, sentiments and instances of “yes” coming from Molly. The blue background reminds her of “O and the sea the sea” (18.1598), probably remembering Gibraltar as well as Howth and echoing Buck Mulligan’s exclamation “Thalatta! Thalatta!” earlier in the book (1.80).
As the episode “Penelope” has both, a sense of chaos and a strictly composed structure, I tried to do the same with the center of my painting. It looks chaotic but I composed it very carefully, going through many stages.
The famous closing words “yes I will Yes” frame the picture. To stress the optimism in these words about the unknown future of the Blooms I used vivid and lively colours.
