According to Robin Wall Kimmerer (Mother/Professor of Environmental and Forest Biology) in some Native languages the term for plants translates to 'those who take care of us.'


With this in mind, members of Kilkenny One Parent Community (KOPC) were invited to collect fallen leaves from plants and trees and use them to create a range of colourfully embossed monoprints as part of a printmaking workshop facilitated by Michelle McMahon in the Butler Gallery.


A selection of the parents' print-work will be on display at the Window Gallery at John's Green House until the 17th of November to usher in the autumn.


KOPC printmakers include: Claire Dunne, Fiona Dempsey, Veronica Mora, Nicola Murray, Fiona O'Neill, Hina Saeed and Bill Walsh.
