to my paintings. I hope they remind them of a place special to them

Terrascope is an exhibition of work by Jackie Maurer and Fiona Woods,

Jackie Maurer is a ceramicist who works intuitively with forms, sometimes

and pattern to the surface of her works. For Terrascope she will show
a collection of recent porcelain objects that play with ideas of curve
and edge. Fiona Woods is a visual artist who works primarily in sculpture
and public art. For Terrascope she will show her first collection of
paintings and drawings for ten years. These small, intensely personal
works reference Woods’ passion for Folk Art, whilst also reflecting

The Next Mind Meitheal meeting,
X-PO, Kilnaboy
The Next ‘Mind Meitheal’ will take place at X-PO on Wed
11th Jan, 8pm - 9.30. If you cannot attend but are interested in proceedings
please email deomahony@gmail.com. The idea of a ‘Mind Meitheal’
was originally conceived by artist Deirdre O’Mahony as a form
of knowledge exchange. Stimulating and bringing together a broad cross-section
of knowledge forms - local place-based, academic and cultural –
‘Mind Meitheal’, is a think-tank that seeks to generate
discussion and imagination within groups of diverse participants. The
broad objective is to create a space where different knowledge forms
have parity in the design of creative strategies for social, cultural,
economic and natural sustainability. ‘Mind Meitheal’ involves
regular participants and those who drop in and out voluntarily. In an
effort to find answers to questions discovered by the group, ‘Mind
Meitheal’ can also proactively seek out participants to share
particular experiences and knowledge forms. Missing pieces of the puzzle
under consideration are discovered, negotiated, and reconciled in the
group process. The ‘Mind Meitheal’ process is routinely
opened up to influences and knowledge forms outside the group. Using
email, accounts of club gatherings are circulated locally and across
a broad range of academic, cultural and social institutions in order
to invite responses that might contribute to new insights. ‘Mind
Meitheal' originally came to life in the context of efforts to sustain
the social, cultural, economic and natural land/scape of the Burren
at the X-PO project in Kilnaboy Co. Clare. ‘Mind Meitheal’
is open to all interested parties and takes place every month.

A New Year’s Day Walkabout!
Burrenbeo Trust January walk with Richard Morrison and Stephen Ward
1.30pm at Mullaghmore (51R 316 944). What better way to start the New
Year than with a brisk loop walk up and around the most iconic mountain
in the Burren, Mullaghmore. For those that are feeling less energetic
there is an easier version starting from the same place.
Longer walkabout
Richard Morrison will follow the NPWS blue route over the top of the
iconic Burren mountain Mullaghmore which is a challenging walk and needs
good walking shoes / boots. You should have waterproofs and warm clothes
and be prepared for an energetic 2 hour trek. Trust would like to start
at the slightly earlier time than usual of 1.30pm to allow for full
light until the end of the walk. If the weather is not permitting then
there is the easy version for all.
Shorter potter-about
Botanist Stephen Ward will lead a walk alongside the turlough and the
lower levels of the hill to look at the what can be found along the
base of one of the Burren’s most majestic mountains.
Meeting time will be 1.30pm - a little earlier than usual to ensure
we complete the walk in daylight. This walk are open to everyone. It
is free for Burrenbeo Trust Members and a €5 charge for non-members.
For more information please email trust@burrenbeo.com
