The next Exhibition in our Duo Series is Ériu which opens on June 30th and runs until July 8th.
Ann Collins Textile Artist
I am very fortunate to live in a country that is magically spectacular and every day it is willing each of us to enjoy and appreciate life. It is this countryside from where I draw my main source of inspiration, and it’s a pleasure put into every stitch I make. The use of simple stitch and thread carries a strong element of meditation, with the needle symbolising the journey through every piece of textile I create. Natural dyeing using plant materials and rust objects is hugely important in some of the pieces I make. There is a constant source of inspiration and surprise from using these simple everyday objects.
Rebecca Powell Artist
As within, so without, teaches us that we are nature, not a separate part of it. This exhibition celebrates Rebecca’s passion for the great outdoors, Irish landscapes, the treasures she finds while walking, nature’s bounty, and a deep connection to all things wild. While best known for her textile work, photography is also an integral part of her world. With such a legacy, the goddess Ériu is a fitting name for the sovereign nation of Éire and all its abundance for those who have eyes to see.
Open daily from 10 am to 5.30 pm. 11 am on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
