About Liadin Cooke: Overlay – Sculpture and Drawings

When looking at Cooke's work, you find yourself peering closely, your head brought close to the detailed surface of an object or the delicate wash of a drawing

- Clare Lilley, YSP

In this Bothy Gallery exhibition, Irish artist Liadin Cooke explored themes of ornamentation, place, and potent detail through a collection of sculptures and drawings.

    Kalliopi Lemos: Bag of Aspirations

    Bag of Aspirations is a gigantic version of an iconic and expensive designer handbag, and represents the aspirations of consumerism. It explores how the fashion industry perpetuates the narrow ideals of beauty and behaviour that are often imposed on women.

    Marialuisa Tadei: Night and Day

    Tadei’s works commonly explore mystical and spiritual views inspired by anatomy and nature, and uses geometric forms, such as circles, to symbolise eternity. The two-sided mosaic Night and Day (Incarnazione) is an extension of the artist’s Oculus Dei series (1998-2008), colourful and abstract disks made of glass and marble that can be interpreted as the details in human eyes.
