barántúil (adj) = authentic
Barántúil is a collection of textiles by Deirdre Nelson. These have been created for Modern Languages exhibition curated by Katy West for the National Craft Gallery, Ireland. A series of 'authentic' products have been made which play with ideas generated from research into Irish Textiles such as aran knit and lace.
Modern Languages presents the work of five international artists and designers with varying relationships to Ireland. The exhibition focuses on the adoption and corruption of traditional craft practice and repositions the Irish vernacular to convey meanings that are dictated less by historic provenance and more by the personal objectives and narratives of the makers.
