The Memory of Water | Rosie McGurran R.U.A at Roundstone Community Hall

Event Details

Exhibition continues 2 – 16 August 2025.

The ever changing light on the water, gentle tides on hot days, boulders older than time become like sleeping figures nestling on the glass turquoise sea, seaweed hair, dream like with rocks for shoes. These observations have informed Rosie McGurran’s new suite of works. With nods to the writings of Tim Robinson and Ithell Colqhuon, Mc Gurran embraces what Colqhoun describes during her time in Roundstone in the 1950s as ‘suaimhness’ the Gealic word that expresses luxuriating in quiet. This exhibition presents works based on daily drawings, often returning to the same places to examine and explore the gentle and fragile environment of Connemara.

Opening reception Saturday August 2nd @6PM
Guided tour and artist’s talk, Sunday August 10th @1PM

Open 11AM-6PM until August 16th
