5. Artist's book launch: Walking Drawing Making Memory by David Lilburn, Thursday 3 December, 5pm-7pm
Please join us for a wine reception to celebrate the launch of the limited edition book Walking Drawing Making Memory, A Ballynahinch Sketchbook by artist David Lilburn.
 Detail from Riverbank Ballynahinch Estate, pencil and oil on paper, 34x24cm In Walking Drawing Making Memory we see some of David's panoramic drypoint prints in the context of what is usually the more private work of an artist (...): the original, searching notations and speculative mark-making through which an artist begins the attempt to think out onto the page his experience of being in a landscape.
David Lilburn explores ideas about place and memory through the graphic processes of drawing and printmaking. He has been awarded many public commissions, the most recent being a large-scale series of prints titled 'In Medias Res', commissioned by the National Library of Ireland as part of the 'James Joyce and ULYSSES exhibition'. This year he has been selected to take part in 'Artist's Proof' a collaboration between the Graphic Studio and Chester Beatty Library, Dublin and in 'X' a collaboration between Limerick Printmakers and RTE Lyric FM.
Walking Drawing, Making Memory, A Ballynahinch Sketchbook is published in a limited, numbered edition of 300 by Ballynahinch Castle and Occasional Press, July 2009. Numbers 1-150 include a frontispiece of an original intaglio print signed and numbered by the artist. Books 1-150 are priced at €85.00 (+ P&P); books 151-300 at €30.00.
