Event Details
Exhibition continues from 23/01/2026 to 20/02/2026.
Let me tell you a story… mice will dance, plates will be wiped with a cat’s tail, and people will eat goosegrass. Combining the natural, the unnatural, and the supernatural; the inherent weirdness of Irish seanfhocail is often overlooked. Humans interact with animals, animals interact with each other, and plants become entangled with humans.
The screenprints, drawings, and sculptures in this exhibition are part of a body of work created by Emily McGardle over the past three years. This work reflects the strong visual imagery present in seanfhocail while highlighting the connection between people, nature, and the Irish language.
