MAY

50, A return to cloth.

Norma Beggs

EXHIBITION OPENING: 2 MAY | 6–8 PM

This month we are exhibiting the work of textile artist Norma Beggs.

Norma is a Northern Ireland–based textile artist working in the field of stitched abstraction. Her work explores the relationship between colour, structure and light, often drawing on the coastline as a source of rhythm and stillness.

Through layering, repetition and tonal shifts she creates pieces that sit between material and atmosphere, where structure softens and space emerges. Her work is held in public and private collections and has been supported by awards from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and other bodies.

Visitors are warmly invited to join us for the opening evening on Saturday 2 May from 6–8 pm. All are welcome.
