The Barrow Book

Stephen McKenna

09 Feb - 19 May 2019 |

A collection of original watercolours by Stephen McKenna illustrating the
Barrow river landscape, set alongside selected quotes from poets and writers
about river life.

This beautiful gathering of words and imagery was curated in 2004 by artist
Adam Bohanna as an artist’s book project.
Published as part of Visualise Carlow, a series of temporary public art projects
commissioned as an advance programme to VISUALs opening in 2009.

The work was commissioned by the Carlow Local Authorities and kindly supported

by the Arts Council of Ireland.
