Gunvor with her piece Self Portrait.
Year of Design Russborough
Russborough celebrated The Year of Irish Design 2015 with a unique showcase of the resident artisans’ work in an open house exhibition & live music! President Michael D. Higgins visited Russborough that same year, and we were honoured he found the time to visit our exhibition; he has a special interest in arts and crafts. Each artist had especially made a piece for this event, Gunvor’s piece ‘Self Portrait’ – a cushion covered in butterflies – was a small ode to memories:
‘I sat across the table from my sister, when a memory came to me from our childhood, a brief recollection as light as a visit from a butterfly. Our connection felt stronger through our shared memories, than through our DNA. Are memories what makes us, are they our essence?’
