Little Monsters is available to visit until 17.00 Monday 21 October.
This installation of bright, bold, colourful textile tapestries and 3D shapes explores success and failure, as well as the need for approval and love in an increasingly digital world.
Using a range of techniques including tapestry, embroidery, crochet and manipulated machine knitting, Laura Angell invites us into a world of symbols, omens and lucky charms that she calls on to quell the anxieties of this world that can become like Little Monsters roaming inside our heads.
The exhibition will also feature bargello tapestries created by Galway children. Thanks to a Creative Ireland's Creative Communities grant, Baboró’s Outreach Projects Manager and artist Laura Angelo hosted bargello stitching workshops for children aged 10+ years in Ballybane, Westside and Galway City libraries as well as in ARD Resource Centre (Doughiska). The childrens’ stunning work will enhance this exhibition.
