The Time-Lapse Solo exhibition by Maria Noonan-McDermott is being shown in the Abbey Arts Centre.

A spokesperson for the venue said: "We are delighted to announce that Maria will launch her brilliant Exhibit here on Thursday, February 10 from 6.30pm to 8pm."

The Exhibition will continue until March 14.

Artist and poet Maria Noonan-McDermott presents a moving and heartwarming visual and literary portrayal in her new touring solo exhibition ‘Time-Lapse.’

This exhibition is an ongoing project that Maria has been unwittingly working towards over a number of years while helping care for her mother living with Alzheimer's.

Funding has been awarded by The Irish Hospice Foundation supported by The Creative Ireland Programme, with additional funding awarded by Leitrim County Council.

A spokesperson for the Irish Hospice Foundation said: "The complex extended grief of Alzheimer’s with it’s untethering of time and the archaeological uncovering of the entire life of a parent that arrives with their death. All this creative exploration of grief, loss and love will be reflected through Maria’s paintings, her poetry and installation."
