Overview
Dust to Dust is an exhibition featuring works by Saoirse McGarry, Mary Fahy, and the collaborative practice of Cormac Adams and Sean Connolly. Exploring shared themes of memory, mythology, and humanity’s evolving relationship with the natural world.
Through different mediums, the works engage with the idea of landscapes as spaces where personal and collective histories intersect. They delve into the traces left behind through rituals, narratives, and physical presence, examining how these marks shape our understanding of identity, grief and renewal.
Drawing on folklore and spirituality, the exhibition also questions humanity’s impact on the environment, imagining possibilities of harmony between people and nature by blending the sacred with the every day. Together, these works create a dialogue between past and present, body and land, inviting reflection on repair, resilience, and reconnection with the landscapes we inhabit.

Saoirse McGarry – Before Adams Rib
Sean Connolly and Cormac Adams – Untouched Lands
Mary Fahy – Bridget’s well paintings
