FRIDAY

KARI CAHILL 3:00 - 3:40pm 

Kari Cahill is a visual artist working out of The Model, Sligo. Her practice is grounded in an exploration of ‘landscape’ through colour and texture. Visually she created bold visceral works that stretch between two and three dimensions. She creates ‘Bio Colour’ from wild foraged materials and discarded urban remnants. This process creates a tangible connection to the natural environment and highlights a more sustainable approach to making. Kari’s work is often site-responsive and her large-scale works are created and exhibited in remote, wild locations, inviting audiences to experience the works in situ.


 

Kari is the Co-Director of Lay of the Land, and was a co-founder of Basic Space. Kari has participated in residencies in India (Space 118, Bombay 2016) and Brazil (Na Casa,Florianopolis 2019). She has presented work at IMMA and TBG+S and is a member of the Graphic Studio, Dublin.

Tim Stone of Popsicle

It all started in Mexico, where we embarked on a journey that unknowingly would lead us to the creation of our unique Popsicle store set on Castle Street, Cork City today. With soaring temperatures slowing us down, we came across a small paleta stall selling the common favourites of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate flavoured popsicles.

 

The refreshing taste was inspirational and we thought to ourselves, ‘ why doesn’t anywhere sell these back at home?’ There it was ,the lightbulb! While walking around we started running ideas, coming up with unique flavour possibilities, some made the cut, some didn’t, and on returning home, set up a makeshift ‘poplab’ to turn our ideas into delicious products for testing.

 

After gaining positive feedback on our wide variety of flavoursome creations, and some extra work behind the scenes, we decided to share our creation with the city. With the addition of coffee, hot-pops, waffles, shakes and sundaes, Popsicle was born!
