Edition: 100 Paper Stock: Permajet Portrait Rag 285gsm  Size: 42 x 59.4cm (A2) These unique artworks aim to present and promote the Irish language through using proverbs to look at our contemporary times, a reflection on the past year, a look to the future and to celebrate the resilience and community spirit of the Irish people at the time of our national holiday celebrations. Irish Proverb: An donas amach is an sonas isteach This is particularly apt following what was a tough year and basically means out with the badness and in with the goodness. Commissioned by St. Patrick's Festival in partnership with Hen's Teeth.
