The Golden Thread Gallery is delighted to present new work by internationally acclaimed artist Claire Morgan, specially commissioned with the support of an Arts Council of Northern Ireland Commissioning Grant 2024.

Claire Morgan raises fundamental questions about the role of humans and their relationship to nature. Complex three-dimensional forms made from artificial and natural materials are a frequently recurring motif in her work.
