A Sense of Memory

A KEY element of the Lily Lolly Yeats Festival is to bring a creative engaging experience to the public. In situations where the audience cannot attend a traditional gallery setting, the aim is to bring the art experience to the community.

Due to the subject matter of Rosemary’s current work, it is very poignant and fitting that her exhibition A Sense of Memory will be shown at the Atrium Gallery in Nazareth Nursing Home, Sligo,as part of the exhibition.

Initially inspired by traditional embroidery, Rosemary’s work gravitates towards abstraction, using contemporary machine embroidery which is subsequently moulded into three dimensional forms. Incorporating the exploration of landscape, environment and curiosity of inherited DNA, it communicates a visual representation into the integrated complexities between the union of perceived and true reality. The question of memory in all its forms is quintessential in her work; the sculptures represent strength and fragility creating an interconnection between delicacy and lightness, while including an emotional tone of unfolding and unravelling memory and building connections between past, present and future.
