CITY Gallery of Art: is home to ‘Repair’ a new visual art show by Bernadette Cotter, current at Limerick City Gallery of Art into March 25. The exhibition works across various platforms, drawings, installations and performance. In fact three separate projects are presented, emerging from years of intricate work on paper and textiles:
“Life and death, religion and ritual, pain and sorrow are the threads that weave through Cotter’s practice which is aesthetically beautiful. Her meticulous attention to detail, the unusual choice of materials and meditative quality achieved through repetition fill the senses.”
There’s more of course, to be explored seven days a week at our municipal gallery on Pery Square.
