Event Details

Custom House Studios + Gallery, Westport, is delighted to present Ancestral Biology, an exhibition of glass works by artists Emma Bourke and Fiona Byrnes.

This exhibition explores the informal transmission of plant knowledge through the exchange of cuttings, seeds, and slips.

Glass, a shared material of deep significance to Bourke and Byrne, features prominently in the exhibition. Drawing on its historic role in horticulture and natural history, it becomes a medium for both preservation and storytelling.

Opening Reception takes place Thursday 18th September at 6pm

All welcome!
