Artist Emily Waszak has been selected through an innovative open call to support an Irish artist in presenting their debut international solo exhibition — an initiative by Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Dublin, Ireland, developed in collaboration with Southwark Park Galleries. Waszak’s assemblage works are informed by rituals of her Japanese cultural heritage, experiences of grief and loss, and the landscape of her home in rural Donegal, Ireland. With a background in industrial weaving, Waszak produces woven works using both ancient and contemporary weaving techniques to combine discarded industrial waste textiles and fragments of fabric with deep personal significance. Other found and natural materials are used, such as clay ceramic vessels, ceremonial objects like animal bones, and her late husband's medical equipment. This exhibition is generously supported by Culture Ireland and Arts Council England.
