Alice Quinn-Banville (5th Year) is impressed by the Alice Maher exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art at Earlsfort Terrace, on Friday, 8th February.
On Friday, 8
th February the Fifth year Art class visited the IMMA at Earlsfort Terrace to see "Becoming" a mid-career retrospective of the work of Alice Maher, one of Ireland's most respected and influential artists. On our arrival we met with our tour guide who showed us the highlights of the collection such as "Familiar" (1995) and "Berry Dress" (1994).
The whole class found her work very interesting, especially those of us that also study Classics, considering that Maher is heavily influenced by ancient Mythology and Classical stories. We are very grateful that Ms. Mahon organised the trip for us and accompanied us there.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
