Sulphur | Orla Whelan at Lavit Gallery

Event Details

Sulphur is an exhibition of new work by visual artist Orla Whelan. Building on her longstanding interest in geology and colour, in 2025 Orla undertook research in collaboration with The Fold art and geology group, focusing on specimens of elemental sulphur from UCC’s rock collection. Initially drawn to the intense colour, Orla’s research interests deepened to include the invisible crystalline structure embedded within the rocks various outward formations, as well as its historical roles in alchemy, industry and astronomy.

Opening reception Thur 18 June 5.30-7.30pm.

Artist talk, as part of The Fold Symposium, Sat 04 July, 3pm
