Womanagh
'
an
exhibition of work by Martha
Cashman
Venue: Organico Café
Shop Bakery, Glengarriff Rd,
Bantry, 027 51391,
www.organico.ie
Time/Date: Mon-Sat,
9.30am-6pm,
Ceramic artist, Martha
Cashman, is opening an
exhibition of work in
Organico Restaurant,
Glengarriff Road, Bantry for
the month of April. The
exhibition, entitled
Womanagh, finds a suitable
home in a food emporium as
the ceramic pieces have as
their inspiration the
seasons, the kitchen and
food.
Based in Crosshaven, Co.
Cork, Martha's most recent
work has been in development
since leaving Crawford
College of Art and Design
with a BA in Ceramic
Design. The pieces to go on
display are finely crafted
kitchen utensils made in a
mixed media of paper
porcelain, woven wire,
carved birch and ash wood.
Taking influences from her
rural background and the
close associations of her
family to the seasons, the
earth and food; her father
was a market gardener. This
series of simple yet elegant
pieces, hung in framed
groups or plainly hung from
a rusted nail, pay homage to
the understanding held by a
local community that led "me
to appreciate and respect
the land we took from
daily". The pieces record
their teachings and the lost
traditional rural style of
living.
The unusual title, Womanagh,
also comes from this
tradition of looking to the
familiar. According to
Martha, "It's the name of
the river that runs at the
back of my family home near
Youghal in East Cork which
had to be crossed to reach
the town, so it really plays
a part in the whole story
behind my work". Martha,
who has received the UCC
Purchase prize and Scarva
Pottery Prize, also has
pieces in the UCC Art
Archive Collection, CIT Art
Collection and the Crawford
Student Collection. This
show will be followed by an
international group
exhibition in the Medici
Museum, San Leo, in Italy
from April 29 to May 18,
2008.
This exhibition can be
viewed from April 1st to
April 30th, 2008. The
official launch of the show
will take place on Sunday
April 20th 3-5pm in
conjunction with the launch
of Slow Food Bantry. The
guest speaker and
officiating the opening will
be Myrtle Allen of
Ballymaloe House and Giana
Fergusson, of Gubbeen
Cheese.
