A Collaborative Exhibition Of Artists From Four Dublin Studio Complexes














































(And so
mounting as it were by steps, let us get to heaven by a Jacob’s
ladder. For the ladder seems to me to signify in a riddle by that
vision the gradual ascent by means of virtue, by which it is possible
for us to ascend from earth to heaven, not using material steps, but
improvement and correction of manners - Saint John Chrysostom)

We dance round in a ring and suppose,
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.
