Debbie Godsell




These are multi-pannelled prints by Cork-based artist Debbie Godsell. I love how she manages to take the kitschy elements of Irish souvenirs and tourist symbols and somehow makes them tasteful (to me at any rate). She says of them: "They represent an idyllic, romantic and unreal Ireland where shamrocks, rainbows, and milkmaids replace politics, finance and endless rain. This is a place where the sun always shines in summertime."
