Entitled &#8216;Pushing Boundaries&#8217;, the show takes as its theme the centenary of the Irish revolution, and called for any print-based response to this event. It will be the first Printmakers Council touring exhibition in the republic and will be part of the living historical process taking place between Ireland and the UK.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s my response. Entitled\u00a0<strong><em>&#8216;<\/em><em>Moment<\/em><\/strong>&#8216;, the print was directly inspired by the revolution, in that it reflects the flowering of the new nation on that date, with all its hope,\u00a0possibilities and \u00a0implications for nationhood, society, culture etc. At nearly a metre long, the print is a departure for me, in that it includes gold threads, sewn post-print directly into the fabric of the paper.<\/p>\n<p>The print is now appearing in the show, which is at Dublin&#8217;s Farmleigh Gallery until 22 December, before moving on to Dunamaise Arts Centre in January (see below). I\u00a0attended the private view on 27 October and used that as an excuse to stay and see Dublin over the following\u00a0couple of days. I&#8217;ll be posting on the private view soon.<\/p>\n<h3>Pushing Boundaries<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Farmleigh Gallery<\/strong><br \/>\n27 October \u2013 22 December 2016<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dunamaise Arts Centre<\/strong><br \/>\n3 January \u2013 28 February 2017<\/p>\n<p>Find all my posts about my visit to\u00a0the &#8216;Pushing Boundaries&#8217; show\u00a0on Twitter at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23PushingBoundariesAP&amp;src=typd\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>#PushingBoundariesAP<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_0124.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-50180\" src=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_0124-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"Pushing Boundaries 2\" width=\"840\" height=\"629\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_2930.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-50181\" src=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_2930-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Pushing Boundaries 3\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_2962.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-50168\" src=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_2962-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Pushing Boundaries I\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_2935.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-50182\" src=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_2935-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Pushing Boundaries 4\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find all my posts\u00a0about Art Printworks stories on Twitter at:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/artprintstories?src=hash\">#artprintstories<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the summer, I answered a call for\u00a0entries to a ground-breaking exhibition organised by the Printmakers Council.
