Murrevagh, Mulranny, Co. Mayo
2–4pm, Saturday 10 May 2025
A special Studio Event with Ruth E Lyons will take place at the artist’s studio in Mulranny, County Mayo, Ireland, on Saturday 10 May 2025.
As part of this event we will present a preview screening of Lyons’ major new film work The Sea Inside Us. The film, by Ruth E Lyons and Colm Hogan, chronicles the human relationship to the sea through salt. In tracing the seam of an ancient ocean, Lyons thinks through aeons and minerals, formulating questions that fathom the unknowable while reaching for the eternal.
During the Studio Event the artist will invite you to hear about the development of ideas behind the work, experience a taste of her studio practice on-site, encounter a series of saltrock sculptures in progress, and listen to a live performance created specially for the work.
