'Geatóir' Embroidered Wall Hanging

‘To annihilate indigenous populations eventually paves the way to our own annihilation. They are the only people who practice sustainable living. We think they are relics of the past, but they may be the gatekeepers to our future’. - Arundhati Roy

This quote is what inspired my piece ‘Gatekeepers’. A homage to Peig Sayers, an Irish author and seanchai; a traditional Irish storyteller and custodian of history, lore and cultural heritage. Peig contributed stories to the National Folklore Collection which is an archive created to collect, preserve and disseminate the oral traditions of Ireland. 

Hand embroidered, this piece is one of a kind.
