Fruity Bodies, DLR LexIcon, Dun Laoghaire
2024, 9th March - 3rd May,
Municipal Gallery, DLR LexIcon, Dublin
Fruity Bodies was exhibited for a second time in DLR Municipal Gallery, Dublin, with multiple additional new works. It featured drawing, video, new sculpture works and new plant dyed embroidery pieces. These new woks explored the land and the body, sites of cairns, ringforts and new experiments in natural dye making. With a number of acquisitions by Dun Laoghaire Arts Office, my work in now held in a County Council Arts Collection, which ensures both the preservation and exhibition of this work for the future.
