Hilary Heron @ FE McWilliam Gallery & Studio

Hilary Heron: A Retrospective celebrates the pioneering work of modernist sculptor Hilary Heron (1923 – 1977).  This exhibition seeks to correct the ways that her work has been overlooked in Irish and international histories of modern sculpture. It brings together work from national and international collections, including carvings, welding and castings. Heron was a master welder, a practice highly unusual for an Irish artist. Her work tactfully and skillfully broaches themes of gender, relationships, deep histories and religion through impressive, varied mediums including stone, lead, steel and wood.
