Pig Pen is a collection of drawings by Rory Mullen. Taking the form of an artist’s sketchbook, the drawings act as notes, designs and proposals for future works. Drawing is a central facet of Mullen’s practice which includes large-scale sculpture, performance and set design. Using modest materials such as crayon, muck, pen and pencil, Mullen playfully explores folklore, ancient mysticism and vernacular architecture.
Rory Mullen is an artist and set designer based in London. He graduated with an MFA in Fine Art from the University of Salford, Manchester in 2016. His practice explores folklore and narrative through performance, sculpture, drawing and installation. He takes an ad-hoc approach to making, adapting and transforming everyday materials to create playful assemblages and large scale sculptural works.

Pocket Money is a publication by Cóilín O’Connell in
collaboration with Isadora Epstein which features illustrations of forged coins and collaged currency minted by the
participants of a community workshop at Muine Bheag Arts in
2023.
Told from the point of view of a keen coin collector,
Pocket Money explores numismatics (the study of coins) and
its perils, showing that it really depends upon which side of
the coin you are looking at.

Grass Roots took place in August 2023 and included contributions from artists Cóilín O’Connell, Mollie Anna King, Niamh Seana Meehan and Holly Pickering. Voice Tracking was developed following conversations with the artists and encounters with the works as the programme unfolded.
The text narrates the movements of four archetypes; the Keeper, the Walker, the Glazier and the Instructor as they come across the works. Prose poetry, footnotes and symbols mark a route between artwork and setting as a strange series of events transpire.
