Bowen’s eyes peer incongruously out from Ancestors, a new work by Debbie Godsell that features in her superb exhibition Flail. It opened today at Uillinn in Skibbereen with a conversation between Godsell and @cristinleach.bsky.social, followed by the rousing performance of a specially composed hymn.
