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.

She was formally trained in Sculpture and Textiles, receiving a BFA from the University of Southern Queensland (2000) and a PGDip from the Victorian College of Arts, Melbourne (2002). She has exhibited widely throughout Australia, Ireland, Germany, Singapore and Indonesia. Her work has been supported by the Australian Council for the Arts, the Arts Council of Ireland and Mayo County Council Arts Service and is held in private collections internationally.

Prescott has been working as an artist in resident here at the Custom House for the last 3 years. She creates poetic sculptural assemblages and works on paper using organic materials. Harvesting, weaving, stitching and repetitive mark-making recur in her practice as slow, meditative rituals.

Officially opened by Alannah Robins, Director of Interface Inagh, Thursday 9 July 2026.
