Exhibition : ‘Súil an Droichead’ by Denis Kelly and Mary Pooley
‘Súil an Droichead’ is a collaborative exhibition of paintings and poetry by twin siblings Denis Kelly and Mary Pooley.
This is an exhibition inspired by the St. Brigid 1500 celebrations. It is also a homage to the memory of their mother Bridget. The exhibition consists of seven paintings inspired by the St. Brigid’s cross motif, where these paintings play with perceptions of reality, while complimenting and responding to the poetry on display.
There are also seven pieces of writing, inspired by the folk tales and stories associated with the life of St. Brigid, with emphasis on her connection to the natural world, her love for all things created and her faith in God. The expectation is that the pieces on display will inspire the viewer to look deeper, past the obvious, into the eye of the bridge where everything cannot be taken at face value.
