Projects
Le Cheile: A Welsh-Irish collaborative project - UPDATE
Since October 2006 artists from the Regional Print Centre and Leinster Printmaking Studio, Clane, Ireland have been working together on a collaborative printmaking project .As a result of initial communication artist twins or working groups were established and themes of land/language/place were decided on as starting points for the work. Since then working prints, drawings, collages, emails and text have travelled back and forth across the Irish Sea with each artist responding to work sent by their print partner. In May 2008 , an exhibition at Riverbank Arts Centre, Newbridge, Co Kildare, showed work in progress from this exciting collaboration to date.-Check out the blog
http://www.a-n.co.uk/artists_talking/projects/single/432128
During 2009, the Le Cheile group of artists have been invited to show recent work influenced by the project individually, alongside work produced collaboratively, in a number of venues internationally.
Graphic Studio Gallery, Dublin,Ireland
Throughout March 2009
