‘ What’s old, really old? Imagine Edna, Methuselah’s mum outliving her son. Landscape does that, what about artefacts? How can 4 artists from Tipperary and 4 older artists from across southern UK tell each other stories about objects, places, and living a long life? How can the landscape give us shelter in this time of 5 km walks?’
This project is at the invitation of The Tipperary Arts Office for Bealtaine 2021

Wonderful! Hope it goes really well, as I am sure it will.
It does sound like a really interesting project with a very good group of participants. Really like the idea of that interaction/dialogue between younger and older generations and finding common ground out of different practices.
