Work by Alice Kettle and Bernie Leahy
The Narrative Line is a two-person exhibition featuring work by UK-based Alice Kettle and Irish artist Bernie Leahy.
With remarkable fluidity and skill, both artists draw upon their daily lives as the raw material of their work.
Kettle investigates the dynamics of everyday relationship through the vehicle of the mythic; Leahy explores the detail of the everyday - both share an interest in the quality of line and of drawing. Working through the medium of textiles, both employ thread and line as a narrative function, in the way that it describes the relationships between the characters and objects they depict.
