Description
Additional Info.

In 2022, Visual artists Helen Delany and Brenda Aherne (AKA Electronic Sheep) were commissioned by First Fortnight and the Arts Council of Ireland to create a new artwork Notifications Off which aims to open up a conversation around mental health awareness. Following a launch in Project Arts Centre at First Fortnight 2023 and residencies in London and Paris, Notifications Off now travels to Limerick.

The knitted Tapestry focuses on the positive and depicts places, people and objects that bring happiness, particularly in times of sadness. It also portrays activities that improve mental health and day-to-day life.

It is a colourful, fun, joyous, surreal art piece. The work weaves in a range of people, including artists and cultural figures who kindly contributed to its creation – Gavin Friday, Róisín Murphy, Aisling Bea, Ben, Tomoka and Bamboo Westwood, Vince Power, Dylan Phillips and Laura Whitmore.

A year in the making, the textile is a hybrid of pencil/digital drawings executed in the artists’ signature style.
