The Bluecoat Display Centre and Liverpool Irish Festival are delighted to announce a Meet the Maker event with our 2024 featured maker: Michael ‘Muck’ Murphy. This event provides visitors with the chance to speak with Muck directly about his work.
Muck’s current body of work centres around commemorating the Ash tree, after disease spread through Ash stock globally (including two in the garden of The Bluecoat). His work aims to use Ash trees and immortalise them in sculpture, exploring the limits of how thin he can turn them, having them drift into a liminal space between existence and non-existence which is the state of their species
Refreshments will be provided on arrival and Friends of the Bluecoat Display Centre will receive a 10% discount on all purchases during the event.
