Yvonne prepares work for People-Tools-Cities Exhibition at Sirius Art Centre


A visit to Meithal Mara's boat building workshop to capture some images of people with the tools of their trade. Yvonne is engaged in this project and exploration as part of a Leargas Youth in Action supported Youth Initiative.
The People-Tools-Cities opens Thurs 26 March 7pm. Runs until Sun 26 April. 
People-Tools-Cities is the work of three artists from GASP (Glasheen Art Studio Programme) who have been working in Cork city; each artist focusing on a chosen subject. Yvonne Condon considers the portrait, inspired by the black and white photographs of August Sander shown at Sirius in 2014. Idé Ní Shúilleábháin focuses on tools, influenced by Konrad Klapheck paintings, while Rosaleen Moore explores the city, observing buildings and painting from memory.
GASP (Glasheen Art Studio Program) artists are currently taking part in the COPE Foundations’ Arts Programme.
