According to Dunne, these tapestries were originally intended for inclusion in the artist's Arts Council Retrospective in 1984. However this idea was never realised. Instead the artworks remained in the McClelland private collection. We are grateful to Terry Dunne for his kind assistance in cataloguing this work. Dunne continues his successful practice in County Wexford and has since produced commissioned pieces for O'Malley's wife Jane, Michael Smurfit and The K Club, Co. Kildare, Monaghan Cathedral, Dublin City University, Irish Life Beresford Place, Dublin and Green Isle Foods among others. For further reading see: www.terrytheweaver.ie
