Exhibition: A Tree For A Scoodoo

A New Exhibition Celebrating Trees at Riverbank Arts Centre

The exhibition A Tree For A Scoodoo, opened on Saturday 9th of April in the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge, Co. Kildare.

The exhibition features two projects, oneTree365 and Scoodoos, by Kildare based artist Ciar????n Burke, celebrating the beauty and importance of trees.

oneTree365 documents one year in the life of a tree; 365 photographs of a grey willow growing on a quiet country lane in Mayo. On that same lane the first Scoodoo appeared. Twig and branch sculptures are representations of individual Scoodoos, tree spirits that are reaching out to humans for their help to save the planet. Their message is simple; ‘We need more trees!’

The Exhibition features a hanging installation ‘365 moments in the air’, a digital visual display of all 365 photos, selected canvas prints, Scoodoos sculptures made from branches, Twig Art and Dear Trees – an opportunity to express your love of trees on a postcard and hang it in the exhibition.

“This is an exciting concept for us, combining elements which appeal to both children and adults alike, allowing people of all ages to experience and interact in the same space” says Acting Venue Director of the Riverbank Arts Centre Aleksandra Rosiak.

Opening Hours:

Mon – Fri 10 am to 5.30 pm
