Chinese Ink Painting 'Kitchen Jars' - Origional Art Work

This work continues the Making Home theme, focusing on the Irish kitchen and the memories people carry through the objects that once filled it.

Kitchens are never just functional spaces—they hold stories, habits, and inherited ways of living. In Ireland, many of these memories are tied to everyday objects that shaped domestic life, often quietly marking the rhythm of the seasons.

Jars are one of these objects—fermenting jars, jam jars, and reused glass containers that hold things slowly made over time. They speak to patience, preservation, and the quiet act of waiting. Whether filled with seasonal fruit, preserved food, or ongoing experiments in fermentation, they carry the idea of transformation through time.

These simple vessels reflect a way of living closely connected to seasonality and care, where nothing is rushed and everything has its moment to develop.
