The work of Trisha Donnelly oscillates between drawings, photographs, videos, sound pieces, texts: Everything clicks into place when it' supposed to. There is very often a link to time and architecture which is not object related which leads us to Trisha Donnelly's yet unrealised project where “You would then walk through the vibrations of a box organ concerto... Because instead of it pushing air up to the ceiling, it would push air up through the floor, you know you could walk through the vibrations rising in the room."

Trisha Donnelly defies all categorisation; all references to familiar moments are questioned. As John Miller wrote, Trisha Donnelly belongs to a generation of artists linked to the incommunicability and anti-documentary impluse of Bas Jan Ader. Donnelly's photographs happen when and where we expect it least: “... when I am making photographs it's always because I am preying upon a photograph that I believe already exists in the minds of others.”
