A question of taste Q&A with Holly Walsh

Holly Walsh is a visual artist from in Waterfall, Co Cork. She graduated from CIT Crawford College of Art and Design in 2016 and was selected for the Student of the Year exhibition that is currently running at the Lavit Gallery at Fr Mathew Street, Cork.

Best recent book you’ve read: Neil Gaimen’s Smoke and Mirrors, an anthology of short stories dealing with the curiosities during seemingly ordinary lives on a both grand and mundane scale. The pacing of short stories is something I’ve always enjoyed, as I like to dive in and out of different stories when it suits.

Best recent film: Arrival (2016), Denis Villeneuve’s science fiction film offers an intriguing view of how an alien visitation to earth could take place, leaning more towards the cerebral than the violent.
