Gormleys is delighted to present an exhibition by one of Ireland's most exciting artists, Domino Whisker. Following recent successful exhibitions in LA and the world-renowned Château La Coste in France, Whisker's new exhibition Parenthesis takes place in Gormleys Dublin from 13th March - 5th April.

Parenthesis is a curative act of preserving her own memory through intricate and intimate embroidered works. Whisker once again charts the territory between deep love and loss, amplifying the thoughts that are meant to be quiet.

The show consists of both hand-embroidered works and tapestries. Using found linen from Northern Ireland, Whisker stitches her pieces as a way of memorialising her own past, while honouring the memory of others that are woven into the fabric itself.
