About the Exhibition, Mary writes:

The reason for my first visit to Loophead, Co. Clare was a commission from a relative whose mother came from Kilbaha. He said that his mother’s family rarely ever left the peninsula – maybe because of its isolated location but also maybe because of the timeless spell it exerts. 

I like to trace the lines in the cliffs;

the regular rhythm of their formation.

Faces – dark and grey, scoured by the salty sea;

It is a portal, a space for re-invention.

A preview of 'Almost An Island' will take place at the Armagh Market Place Theatre, opening on the 23rd September, the exhibition continues until the 22nd October 2016.
