Location: Jerpoint Glass, Stoneyford, R95 WN67
This exhibition at Jerpoint offers a fascinating first look at sketches, studies, notes and drawings from the archive of the late Kilkenny artist Helen Comerford.
Born in Thomastown in 1945, Comerford studied fine art sculpture at NCAD and later in Belfast and the Netherlands. Across an almost 50-year career, her work embraced a range of media from papier mâché, slate, inks and print, graphite, wax and metals to encaustic painting and is represented in all the major national collections.
This exhibition sheds light on the philosophical underpinnings of her work, as well as the processes and skills on which she placed so much emphasis. Helen Comerford’s last solo exhibition, The Nineteen, was a highlight of the Festival in 2021.
