Opening Thursday 1 August at 7pm by artist Rachel Parry • Commissioned for Cork County Council Visual Arts Programme

Tuesday – Saturday 10.30am – 5.30pm

Michele O’Connor Connolly’s lens based work deals with the politics of particular archeological spaces, how people lived and organized their lives and social structures and how they overlay in today’s society.

New work by Wendy Miles using found objects and natural materials (in this case chairs, ladders, oak and fig leaves), show an affinity with the natural world, and with issues of femininity and womanhood.

Jane O’Farrell’s beautiful multi layered drawings of inks and gouache deal with concepts of architectural spaces and concepts of home.

Gana Roberts is preoccupied with tales of Sweeny and the elusive nature of the present. She works in a very unique and individual way with glass and video.
