FRANCES BROSNAN "HIDDEN BEAUTY" OCTOBER 9 TO SUNDAY OCTOBER 21ST
'Hidden Beauty' is an exhibition based on a visual response to a series of photographs taken through a microscope. Slides of plant cells were placed under the microscope and then photographed. The works in this exhibition are an interpretation of these images using ceramics and mixed media.
Scientific equipment has given us the opportunity to explore the hidden beauty and mystery of plant cells. With the aid of a microscope the hidden minute structures of plant cells can be exposed to reveal a world of great beauty and complexity.
The intention was not to 'reproduce' what was viewed under the microscope as the artist believes the beauty and complexity of nature cannot be replicated. The artist's love of texture and colour was a major factor in her interpretation of these images.
Super Opening night. Gregg did the honours describing Fran's determination, experimentation and dedication to her work. Congratulations to Fran on a fabulous show.

CULTURE NIGHT AT SIGNAL ARTS CENTRE SEPTEMBER 21
Tonight was a very exciting evening at Signal Arts Centre. The artist John Cullen brought along a poem written by Paul McMahon. The poem was an ode to one of John's paintings currently on exhibition. The poem was read by Carrie O' Brien an exciting award winning poet who just happened to come along to Signal tonight. John Cullen had attended a reading of Carrie's works in Sligo. The audience was enthralled with the reading, as Carrie read the poem out in front of the painting. It was a very magical night with a lovely number of people dropping by to look at the paintings and enjoying a glass of wine.
Meanwhile up the town on the Main Street, the Hands across Bray was a stunning success. I watched today as children and adults delighted in pressing a hand into plaster, something very primitive going on there. Many of the hands were painted, coloured and sparkled. I will be pleased to post the photographs as soon as I get them.
Congratulations to all the enthusiastic staff at Signal, the management volunteers and the Signal Arts Society who gave so willingly of their time. A speedy recovery to Claire our super supervisor, who packed so many bags of plaster with instructions. Another Culture Night success for Signal Arts Centre!

BARDS IN THE WOODS
PUBLIC EVENT
BY SIOFRA O'DONOVAN
Meet in the car park at 12.30.
We're going to storm the trees with poetry- yours, or the poetry of a poet you love. Let's try to keep the theme on trees, woods, woodland, forestry. It doesn't have to be Irish. We are gathering to honour the trees and the woodland that is ...the very soil of our heritage. The trees hold thousands of stories, and have witnessed our own ancestors' history. Especially these old indigenous oaks at Tomnafingoue woods in Tinahely, Co. Wicklow. Why are we doing this? To remind our own government that we don't approve of the sale of Coillte as an asset to a foreign company. These trees belong to all of us, and are the repository of our own history. Nobody has made it clear what would happen to Coillte forests if they are sold. And this is imminent. So let's get out and pour poetry into the woods! Bring friends!
