Using a frontal perspective, the artist depicts a lime-green field with many cylindrical bales, which are coloured either pink or mint. In the centre of the foreground is a red field-gate with blue pillars. At either side of this is a green fuchsia hedge with red flowers, grey stone wall, and orange-flowering montbretia. Yellow road markings and a black and yellow road sign complete the image.

Seen-Unseen is an art project led by artist Clare McLaughlin for and with people who are visually impaired.

We are delighted to collaborate with Clare to host a guided visit of the exhibition Constellations: Selected Work from Crawford Art Gallery at the F.E. Mc William Gallery in Banbridge, County Down. Constellations showcases artwork by contemporary Irish artists held in the national collection and exhibiting artist Laura Fitzgerald will meet the group for a relaxed chat about her artwork.

This event free of charge, but booking is essential. Attendees can join the group in-person or online.

No previous knowledge or particular art experience is necessary.

Crawford Art Gallery has collaborated with Clare and visually impaired participants since 2014 – with a range of art encounters and tactile visits. Clare’s collaborative work explores the haptic or sensory experience of art.
