Nov 2011 "Portfolio" at The Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) Dublin IRL.
“Portfolio” Exhibition at the Royal Hibernian Academy Dublin IRL.
This exhibition includes work by Ireland’s leading crafts people. These are makers with international reputations, whose work is collected by Irish and international museums and institutions. Seeing the work at the RHA emphasises the increasing irrelevance of an art/craft divide and places the work in an appropriate aesthetic context. Some of the languages and materials of art and craft are different, and craft may seem more connected to material and utility. Look beyond those initial ideas and histories however, to discover layers of richness and meaning. Karl Harron layers “a sense of aeons of creation” and “the formation of the land itself” into his glass.
Gemma Tipton is a writer and critic of Contemporary Art and Architecture.

"This year’s selection of work at Collect focuses on formal simplicity. The work is characterized by clean lines and bold, volumetric forms, whilst never losing touch with the materials and processes of its’ creation. The work draws explicitly on vernacular traditions of making, but is infused with an entirely contemporary sensibility. The term I am using to describe it is ‘complex simplicity’, which refers to the depth of skill needed in order to produce clean, simple forms with such conviction." Ann Mulrooney Curator National Craft Gallery Ireland.
