Timelines, Growth and Catastrophe

Timelines: Growth and Catastrophe, was launched on 20th September 2024 at the Roscommon Arts Centre. It features the work of Roscommon-based weaver Frances Crowe and showcases the third collaborative work from the Timelines Tapestry Group.
The centre piece of the exhibition is a large handwoven tapestry, created collaboratively by weavers Muriel Beckett, Tish Canniffe, Frances Crowe, Pascale De Coninck, Lorna Donlon, Terry Dunne, Catherine Ryan, and Heather Underwood.
The creation of this monumental tapestry has been a journey of collaboration and dedication. The group began designing it in Lorna Donlon’s UCD studio, drawing inspiration from plant science imagery and natural dyes. The weaving process itself took place in Terry Dunne’s home studio in Wexford, where the artists worked together in small groups over several months, fostering a sense of community and shared vision.
Supported by Creative Ireland Programmes of Roscommon County Council, Cork City Council, Cork County Council, Laois County Council, and Wexford County Council, this exhibition is a testament to the power of creative collaboration.
