Ciaran's exhibition "Nostalgia's Not What it Was" ran from the 5th - 8th of Oct in Fumbally Exchange. It was a big success with over 400 people visiting over the weekend.
The first piece was "No space for nostalgia" and it was based on this picture of Ciaran as a child with his two best childhood friends.
The photo seemed to spark something in many who visited and lots of his pieces evoked memories of childhood that were familiar to all.
It was great to have both the guys in the picture drop in for a look!
I'm feeling nostalgia just looking at them!!

I've had a busy week. I'm doing a lot of yoga after work most evenings so am only getting home about 8.30pm.
Weekends are generally my time for catching up on things that I didn't get done during the week. However, this weekend I had a lot on so of course I didn't get caught up on chores at all.
On Saturday, I went to Bikram in the morning and then met with Amy & Alice for lunch. We went up to the RHA to check out the art which was nice! We agreed that the small gallery was just enough culture for the day :-)
From Amy's I then cycled down to the conference centre where there was a surprise birthday party for a work colleague on a boat docked up on the liffey. It was great and I had an enjoyable cycle home about midnght even though it was very windy weather and I was wearing a very short skirt!
Then Sunday started out with more Bikram yoga with Amy. After yoga I drove home, got my bike and cycled in to town. I then met my mother and two sisters and we went to Featherblade for lunch to mark my mother's birthday. Everyone had a very enjoyable lunch and we followed it with dessert in Amy's.
A lot of fun all in!
Ciaran painted all weekend while I was out carousing. Here's his latest piece.....
