Christine Prescott: Rites of Homing
Christine Prescott's new solo exhibition traverses the emotional and ecological distance between the semi-arid plains of Australia and the rain-rich island of Ireland. Through meditative engagement with materiality and handcrafted processes, Prescott’s art ritually navigates migration, exploring how sites of nurture and nourishment can be found within unfamiliar landscapes.
Prescott is a contemporary Australian artist living in the West of Ireland. She has been a studio resident at the Custom House for the last 3 years, creating emotionally embodied sculptural and two-dimensional forms from natural materials. This is her first solo exhibition in Ireland.
