​My granduncle, Thomas O’Halloran, died a soldier fighting for Britain during the First World War. On the centenary of the war, I wished to remember him and to honour all those from County Clare who lost their lives.

"a powerful and moving new exhibition by Holly Mullarkey, Merged Forever into Clay, which seeks to express and expiate the hidden collective grief in the loss of those thousands of young Irishmen."

Charlie McBride, Arts Critic
