Storytelling

The Casts then became moulds used to make clay floor tiles. The clay was dug from disused brickfields outside Limerick, it is the same material that local Georgian buildings were constructed from in the 1800’s. The work was co-produced by the artist and members of the public. The aim of this project was to physically connect the audience with the history of the city through making and subsequent dialogues facilitated by the process.
