Two Person Exhibition. Cnoc Buí, Union Hall, Cork.
Friday 21st June – Sunday 7th June 2024.
‘One Place and Every Place’ is a joint exhibition with Paula Marten and Sarah Ruttle in Cnoc Bui in Union Hall. The show is about place, the stories, the emotions that belong and dwell there, but also the enduring quest for hope, beauty, and a relief from this challenging and ever-changing world. This collection, inspired by nature, includes intricate drawings, paintings and paper-cuts which share some of the exceptional and raw beauty of West Cork. Sarah’s figurative art aims to recognise and capture moments of strength. The focus of this body of work is about finding a place that refreshes and sustains.
Paula & Sarah have many connecting threads one of which being they both trained in textiles in Scotland before moving to West Cork twenty years ago. They were drawn to each other’s work; seeing many links through the love of drawing, creation of layers and depth, texture, pattern, colour, and the technique of paper cutting.
Opening Thursday 20th June by ceramic artist Aisling Roche. With artists Gerald O’Callaghan & Martin McCormack exhibiting their own solo shows in Cnoc Buí’s other gallery spaces.
With thanks to the Cnoc Buí team.
