Hello vics members, Although this has nothing to do with computers nor with me I hasten to add, I would strongly recommend that everyone get to Eleanor Swan's exhibition on June 7th if you can. I worked with Eleanor over the past year in NCAD as she developed these pieces. It is an ambitious attempt to convey the art of Francis Bacon in a tactile form. The pieces are large and easy to handle. It would be very interesting to see what you get out of the experience. I saw his paintings when I had my sight in the 70's and it was very attractive visually. Eleanor's pieces are fascinating as pieces of sculpture and modelling. She gives the paintings a third dimension that is her interpretation of the visual form. All the best, Cearbhall T: +353 (0)1 2864623 m: 08333 23487 E: cearbhall.omeadhra@xxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Lavin Sent: 02 June 2011 22:27 To: Ireland VIP News Mailing List Cc: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] FW: Exhibition -----Original Message----- From: Veronica Coffey [mailto:veronica.coffey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 02 June 2011 12:04 To: michael.lavin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Exhibition Hi Michael, Veronica Coffey has been asked by sheila Kelly Divisional Librarian at Pearse Street Library to send out the following.
