Brown Thomas, Art and Style

May-June 2012

Art meets fashion as Brown Thomas is taken over by the works of 36 contemporary Irish artists at stores in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway.  This thoughtfully curated exhibition brings together a broad collection of original work representing mediums such as print, painting, installation, video, sound and sculpture.

I think I had to wish to make this last

My window installation is inspired by the role of the archaeologist, investigator and digger.  It explores thoughts on the 'pilgrim' or 'traveler' taking what could be notes of discoveries from a traveler's journal and bringing them to life.

In conjunction with this six artists exhibited their work in the windows of Brown Thomas, Patrick Street, Cork. For this project I altered my 'Favela' installation to suit the space. Below are some images of my work in the Brown Thomas window.
