EMMA BOURKE EXHIBITS IN THE IRELAND NEWFOUNDLAND TRAIL: A JOURNEY OF PLANTS AND PEOPLE, WATERFORD

The Ireland Newfoundland Trail: A Journey of Plants and People is a collaboration of creators in fine art and craft from both Ireland and Newfoundland. The exhibition exposes a piece of the story of Irish settlers to Newfoundland.

The Ireland Newfoundland Trail: A Journey of Plants and People is an exhibition which centres on plants, most of them considered simple plants, many of which border our roadways or live happily in our meadows and sometimes adorn our home gardens. The purpose of the exhibition is to encourage the telling of stories by the viewers as we compare versions to those of others who live an ocean apart.

Included in this exhibition is Emma Bourke, who is showing intricate flameworked glass pieces of plants frequently inform her broader practice. The exhibition continues until Saturday 1st September 2012 at the Garter Lane Gallery in Waterford city.
