Exhibition - Encircled by Gold; under Brigid's mantle
2011 - 2013This exhibition was the result of several years research and investigation into High Pasture Cave on the Isle of Skye. This is an archeological site, which had excavations lasting 8 years. There were a large number of finds, some of European significance. I made three life size mantles referencing St.Brigid, with these made from plants associated with her; soft rush, bog cotton, dandelion and birch.
