Patsy Connolly exhibition at Burren College of Art

The event will take place at the Burren College of Art in Ballyvaughan

Burren College of Art will host an exhibition by Burren-based artist Patsy Connolly on November 2nd.

The works in this exhibition express the notion of duality: darkness and light, death and rebirth, consciousness and the unconscious. They underscore the multilayered and mysterious nature of our lives, where spirits, ghosts, ancestral influences, inner voices, and untold stories all have their place and need to be integrated if we are to attain some semblance of wholeness.
