Changing Ground, land and art.

The Barony Centre, West Kilbride, Scotland,20 July to 15 September 2013

Exhibition of seven artists exploring aspects related to the land.

My work was a wall composition made up of individual pieces all related to St.Brigid, the namesake of Kilbride.

These pieces are – Bhrat Bhrìde 1,2 and 3,(traditionally this was a cloth or rag laid out on St.Brigid’s eve)

Brigid’s girdle – made from dandelion stalks (traditionally stepped through with prayers)

Rope – made from dandelions (traditionally associated with St. Brigid)

Kilbride, Cille Bhrìghde, St.Brigid’s cell
