Installations by Fiona Leech (on the left) and Leiko Uchiyama (on the right).

Sculpture in Context is the largest sculpture exhibition in Ireland. Showcasing sculpture for over 35 years, this annual event is organised by Sculpture in Context, an artist-led organisation, in association with the Office of Public Works and the National Botanic Gardens.

Bringing together the work of more than 120 artists using a wide range of media, these works of art represent the rich, diverse character of Irish and International contemporary sculpture. From the smallest, most intricate ceramic works to stone sculptures of monumental scale, visitors to the exhibition will be enriched by the experience of viewing such inspiring works in one location.

The show includes the works of some of Feltmakers Ireland’s members. Amongst these are installations by Fiona Leech and Leiko Uchiyama. (Both links are to their Instagram pages).

Note: Unfortunately, an unethical and malicious person stole two of Fiona’s pieces from her installation the morning that she installed them. If you know of these art pieces’ whereabouts, please contact Fiona.)

Sculpture in Context runs from Thursday, the 7th of September, to Friday, the 13th of October.

Editors note: Next week, there will be an additional blog post about other members’ pieces in the exhibition.
