Losing Cohesion, Discover the Beauty in Decay | Susan Mannion at Fort Dunree

Event Details

Exhibition continues 20 September – 18 October 2025.

Irish visual artist Susan Mannion presents Losing Cohesion at Fort Dunree, a site-specific exhibition inspired by the erosion of its buildings and landscapes. Using sketches and photographs gathered over years, she created enamel panels, sculptural pieces, and altered polaroid images reflecting decay by wind, rain, and sea. Mannion fires enamel on copper at 900°C, distressing and refiring to mirror rusted textures of the site. An award-winning artist, she has exhibited internationally, completed major public commissions, and received the 2022 Merrion Plinth Award.
