Joseph Heffernan is a Cork-based Irish artist working across painting, drawing, text and assemblage. His practice explores identity, memory and ritual, using found and reclaimed materials to examine how objects carry meaning. This exhibition imagines a speculative world governed by ‘The Ceremony of the Flowers’ – an enigmatic synthesis of poetry, mathematics and esoteric knowledge.
Curated by Aideen Quirke. Free admission. Tues–Sat, 11am–5pm.
