Ciara Harrison: Shadowed Women | Wednesday 20 July – Thursday 18 August 2016 | Hunt Museum

Textile artist Ciara Harrison’s work will be on display in the Prologue Room. This exhibition features exquisite embroidered portraits of seven women who shared one destiny: they were all widowed by the events of the Easter Rebellion 1916. Using a remarkable process involving the transfer of charcoal drawings from photographs to cotton organdie, the work includes a portrait of Kathleen Clarke (née Daly) born in Limerick in 1878, and widow of the rebel leader Thomas Clarke.

The exhibition is on loan with the kind permission of the Little Museum of Dublin.
