The Collie, The Cheviot & The Crouched Skeleton

Rua Red is delighted to present The Collie, The Cheviot and The Crouched Skeleton, a major new commission by artist Orla Barry launching on Friday 10 July and continuing until Saturday 26 September. With humour and close attention to rural knowledge, ‘The Collie, The Cheviot and The Crouched Skeleton’ considers the farm walk as a means of entering into relation with land, labour, memory and community. The commission reflects on the complexities of rural life at the edge of the city, exploring how landscape is shaped by inheritance, lineage, survival, friendship, economic pressure and the stories that pass between people.
