Description

In my work, the apron is an apt symbol, rich in meaning when viewing Ireland’s formative post-War years. The apron work in homes carries memories and associations, a symbol of nuturing and growth. A garment worn by spirited women who shaped our cultural identity, and mothers who played a vital role, noted for their thrift, resourcefulness, creativity, energy, and enterprise.
