Deirdre McLoughlinShaping The Void

20th January 2012  -  21st March 2012

Rare solo exhibition by this  seminal Irish maker based in the Netherlands.

"Deirdre McLoughlin’s work has it’s origins in a fascinating  dialogue with classical ceramic forms and functions, but it is as if the dialogue has moved on to a concern with the body as a kind of container, and her instinct for the contained void , for the tensions inherent in shape, is fantastic."

Aidan Dunne, Wall & Plinth, exhibition catalogue, January 2008

The exhibition will be opened by Michael Robinson former curator of Applied Arts, Ulster Museum Northern Ireland, on Friday 20th January at 6pm. Preceded by an artist's talk at 5pm
