 Here are some photos of our earth shatterringly wonderful show in Grennan Mill Craft School, Thomastown in county Kilkenny.....We had about two thousand visitors during the ten days of Killkenny Arts Festival...especially after we got a stunning review in the Irish Times.

 
 ....and heres what the mythically aserbic Aiden Dunne said about us:  " There's a fantastic, unstinting generosity to their displays....In his narratively dense work Bently, tending towards the monochromatic, describes a mythical metropolis inhabited by a teeming horde of sharply drawn, richly detailed characters. McGarry takes a different, more elemental route, a watery domain of sea, rain, islands, bobbing coracles and flowing colour. His paintings of figures, wraiths against the shifting, edgy light of the sea, are particularly outstanding."

 
 We had the time of our lives after that came out.......STOP PRESS...Bones & The Aft invited back to play next year....watch this space!!!...


Stars of the show, naturally were Kathy's wonderful clothes which narratively celebrate our lives in what we wear.....and also, strangely,  the scale models Bones & The Aft:


 
                                 These are some of Andi McGarry's wonderful hand made books.....

 
 ...and this is My Ancestors Came (Liver & Lights 40), another popular stopping point in the show and shown together in a big block for the first time......
