MATERIALpoetry will highlight the best of the new wave of design/craft
emerging from Ireland. International curator Brian Kennedy will focus on
Irish makers whose work is infused with a poetic simplicity and a material
honesty. Work influenced by ancient Irish architectural forms, the majestic
Irish landscape, a deep rooted knowledge and respect for techniques and
a true understanding and love of material. Work which traps for ever a
moment in time, a moment in the making, a moment in the dialogue
between maker, making and material and offers it up to us to live with and
use, for now and to pass on. Work that is of the moment, but not just for the
moment. Curated by Brian Kennedy.
