Press Release

'Leaf Litter' by Mags Dunne

Venue: Limerick Museum, Old Franciscans Friary, Henry Street, Limerick

Dates: Tuesday 3rd May to Thursday 26th May 

Opening Times:  10am to 5pm,  Monday to Friday

“Leaf Litter” is a series of  new work where Mags has returned to her ceramic roots to produce delicate pieces centred around leaves.    

A common theme in poetry and art, leaves at the end of their lives are celebrated for their colour and as well as referenced for the cycle of life. Each leaf is individually cast from a real leaf collected by the artist on her walks and explorations and gathered together to produce chapters in this familiar leafy story.   

At a time where our own litter is causing devastation to the environment, these works were created around the simple joy of nature just outside our own door. It is a reminder that the beauty of the natural world around us nourishes our souls as well as the land, even in its seasonal fall and decay.
