Calling Up Berba | Donna Wright at Laois Arthouse

Event Details

Laois Arthouse are delighted to present new work by artist Donna Wright (Aus), resident at Laois Arthouse, Stradbally. During her residency Donna has developed new work exploring the ecology and mythology of the River Barrow. Working on large swathes of unstretched canvas her works express layered thinking, weaving mythological and biological readings of place. ‘A breath away from gone’, brings together the ancient salmon of knowledge, the sacred hazelnuts, the origin myth of Barrow Goddess Berba and the dramatic decline of the freshwater pearl mussel.
