Slow Time with a Butterfly presents the work of 11 contemporary textile artists: Muriel Becket; Frances Crowe; Mary Cuthbert; Lorna Donlon; Áine Dunne; Terry Dunne; Angela Forte; Anne Harte; Uisce A. Jakubczyk and Theresa McKenna.

An exhibition of impressive tapestries of varied scale, subject matter and colour with the common thread of woven fibres, which combine to create a joyous celebration of the art of weaving.

Slow Time with a Butterfly refers to the slow, detailed practice of tapestry weaving. The technique uses “butterflies” or bobbins of coloured yarns woven through a cotton or linen warp to create the image of the artist’s design.
Contemporary Tapestry Artists Ireland (CTA) is a group of professional tapestry weavers working in studios all over the country who come together to collaborate and exhibit their work to give a platform to handwoven fine art tapestry and raise the profile of this textile medium. By its nature a solitary occupation, CTA Ireland gives its members an opportunity to connect, network and collaborate. Woven tapestry and the influence of this textile medium informs each of their work be it in fibre, paper or collage.
