BLAST Artist Residency Coolard National School

"Imbas of imbolc"

Imbas is a celtic word for imagination or great knowledge.

This was the theme to bring together the folklore stories of St Batts well , the cures, work with my own art practice and cyanotypes printmaking.

The well is also a  celtic symbol for "Imbas".

The residency was a journey through the imagination using the artists work , the reimagining of my work , guided meditation, sound healing and the senses,  local stories and printmaking. 

The children learned alot about St .Batts well, cyanotype printmaking and how to use their creativity in new ways.

We did one field trip to St Batts well, to meditate, work with sound healing tuning forks and do site specific art.

The finished piece is a mural that will be displayed I'm the school hall.
