Description:

Exhibition Open Friday 18 September, 10am-8pm Talk and Guided Tour Friday 18 September, 7-8pm From the Forest to the Ocean is a powerful solo exhibition featuring the work of Irish artist Mary Moynihan. Bringing together photography, poetry, and film, this multidisciplinary exhibition draws inspiration from the physical landscapes of nature and the deep interconnectedness of life — from forests to the ocean. The artworks map physical landscapes and seascapes to landscapes of the soul and are rooted in reflections on nature, journeys of interconnectedness, and the art of letting go, exploring the boundaries between the natural world and the human spirit. The work creates a synergy between the evocative beauty and fragility of the photographic landscapes and seascapes of counties Dublin, Wicklow, Kerry, and France, combined with the emotional impact of poetical texts in written and in a poem-film format. Join us for an engaging guided tour, artist talk and poetry reading exploring the imagery and stories behind the extraordinary exhibition From the Forest to the Ocean. Hear the stories embedded within the exhibition and reflect on nature, spirituality and peace. Artist Mary Moynihan shares insights into her creative journey as audiences gain a deeper understanding of how the work evolves and responds to contemporary contexts. This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the artist, ask questions, and connect with the work on display. Interwoven throughout the talk, the artist presents live readings of her original poetry offering a poetical reflection on nature, spirituality and our shared responsibility to care for one another and the earth.
