Elida Maiques - A Playful River Exhibition Opening

Join us for the opening of our new exhibition: Elida Maiques - A Playful River

A river of pomegranate ink flows from Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray.

A Playful River offers an invitation to make art and learn new techniques. This interactive installation acts as Elida Maiques' temporary studio, where a durational drawing experiment invites participants join the artist in creating a monumental drawing using handmade inks, alongside her willow work structures and practice as seed librarian.

Five workstations, Drawing, Seedheads, Willow, Compost and Humanbirdhouse, displaying Maiques’ ink paintings, a selection of her seed collection, vessels and brushes made with foraged and repurposed materials such as orange peels, deer hair, wool and willow and more.

On selected dates throughout the course of the exhibition Maiques will be working from this temporary gallery studio, with visitors are welcome to join her in art making, particularly drawing on a 20m scroll of paper, using inks made by the artist.
