Eily O’Connell and Sabrina Meyns will be exhibiting their new work as part of the Workhouse Studios in the Custom House Studios in Westport, Co. Mayo. The picture here is a sample of Eily’s new work called ‘Aladin’s Maze’.  This new piece is cast from potato sprouts and other organic material with quartz inset. According to Eily, the piece is called Aladin’s Maze because Aladin is a type of potato and it looks like a maze with all the intersecting sprouts grasping the treasure (the quartz). Both the name and piece have a magical feel!

The exhibition in the Custom House Studios in Westport Co. Mayo opens on the 19th August.
