Moate visual artist to exhibit at Esker Arts Centre

'Pause', a body of work from Moate visual artist Hilary Kinahan, will be officially opened by Carmel Duffy, Athlone Arts & Tourism Manager, at Esker Arts Centre, on Saturday, April 4, at 3pm.

'Pause' is an exhibition responding to recent bog fires and their impact on the local landscape, documenting the scorched land through painting and printmaking.

Created as a meditative series, the works invite viewers to slow down and reflect.

The series includes sonographs of birdsong, signalling renewal and the gradual return of life to the damaged boglands.

The exhibition will remain open to the public until June 27.
