Resonant Vessels Old Dunnes Stores Building October 22nd - 27th Opening Wednesday 22nd of October at 7.30pm Resonant Vessels brings together twenty sculptural teapots by Westportartists Linda Mulloy and Lou Wilde, where turned and carved wood meetsfused glass in a dance of light, grain, colour, and form. Spouts twistinto impossible curves, handles drift free of gravity, and glowing glassseems to breathe through carved timber. Each piece begins with thefamiliar silhouette of the teapot but slips into the playful, surreal,and unexpected.At the heart of the exhibition is the teapot as a vessel of meaning. InIrish culture, to offer tea is to offer connection—a pause, a welcome,a moment shared. Here, that everyday gesture becomes something bold andarchitectural, a reimagining of function into fantasy, balance intosurprise. These works speak in the language of ritual, but with accentsof wonder and delight.Linda Mulloy, a glass artist captivated by colour and shifting light,and Lou Wilde, a wood artist whose practice is rooted in music, nature,and curiosity, move beyond the boundaries of their chosen media in thiscollaboration. Together they invite us to see the ordinary anew; anobject of daily life transformed into a vessel for imagination.
