I was thinking of you

The ^ collective are inviting visitors to learn how to use a loom and to contribute to a new artwork as part of their exhibition Waking the Land. The textile on this loom is a collective act of remembrance in progress. Each woven line carries the intention of the person who wove it as an offering made in memory of someone or something.

The loom is an opportunity to enter a space of quiet attention. The materials are undyed wool from the native Galway breed of sheep with plant material from Benbo Mountain and five meadows tended by the artists. To find out more or to make a booking, please ask a member of staff or email us at thedockartscentre@gmail.com.

^ is a collective based in Leitrim. Our five members are Tara Baoth Mooney, Shane Finan, James Kelly, Laura McMorrow, and Sonya Swarte. We collectively occupy an artist-led studio and experimental space in Manorhamilton. Over the past three years, we have led events in north Leitrim in response to environmental grief, care, and tending to the land.

^ cultivates collaborative research, experimentation, creation, and dissemination by working with the North Leitrim community and nature as mutual co-creators of meaning. This has taken multiple forms, such as social gatherings, symposia, rituals, workshops, walks, sharing food together, and exchanging our different knowledges and stories.
