This exhibition, by award-winning artist, Maz Jackson, www.mazjackson.eu, celebrates the Voyage of St Brendan the Navigator. Maz's work features a series of egg tempera paintings, limited edition woodcut prints, handmade books and an 8 metre linen scroll depicting the amazing story of Brendan, a 5th century Irish abbot who is said to have discovered America, 900 years before Columbus, on his quest to find the Paradise Island of Saints. There are over 100 versions of this tale, in several languages, as it crosses between truth and legend, and links with many cultures and travellers of the time.
The exhibition will be open daily from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm - except Sundays. Maz Jackson will be in the gallery Wednesdays-Saturdays (NOT 15, 23, 24 April) and will give gallery talks each Wednesday and Saturday at 11am and 2pm (NOT Saturday 24 April).
