About · PUCA.ARCHIVE
Paying attention is the whole practice.
PUCA.ARCHIVE is the working archive of Conor Fitzpatrick — painting, animation and visual storytelling gathered in one place, made from a habit of noticing.
Conor Fitzpatrick
Conor Fitzpatrick is an Irish artist working across oil, acrylic, gold leaf and animation. The work begins in noticing — kitchen light, a glance held a beat too long, the particular colour of an ordinary afternoon.
Each piece is an attempt to keep something before it goes. Less a record of events than of attention itself: the everyday, looked at sideways until it gives something back.

Named after the púca — the shapeshifting trickster of Irish folklore, who arrives at dusk and changes the shape of everything it touches.
The archive borrows its habit: looking at the familiar long enough that it turns into something else.
Attention
Make the ordinary worth a second look.
Memory
Hold the things that would otherwise slip past.
Shapeshift
Let a moment become more than itself.
