These images are of the latest installment of my ongoing Found Bookmark Project which is currently on show at the National Library on Kildare Street in Dublin. The piece (which involves a collection of objects found in libarary books over the Summer) was made for Preponderance of The Small, “an off-site project which forms part of The Douglas Hyde Gallery’s ongoing Gallery 3 initiative, featuring works by twenty-one younger artists working in Ireland.”
There is an article in todays Iirsh Times that claims “the arts cement our reputation abroad, are crucial to our smart economy, provide employment at home, fuel cultural tourism, and help form the nation’s psyche – they are vital to our national recovery”.
So hopefully the government will pay attention when they put together the next budget.
