Plant | Debbie Godsell at GOMA Waterford

Event Details

Debbie Godsell presents a new body of hybrid works that occupy an ambiguous space between image, object, and surface. Combining upholstery, repurposed textiles, sculpture, photography, and printmaking, the works feature layered and manipulated imagery disrupted through padding, stitching, and printing processes.
The artist explores how landscape, folklore, and historical narratives shape cultural identity and collective memory. Drawing on contested and culturally sensitive histories, Godsell examines the stories through which Irish identity has been constructed, paying particular attention to the tensions and omissions embedded within them.
