Brigid McLeer is nothing if not eclectic in her interests. Cosmus, her new exhibition at Limerick City Gallery of Art, features work inspired by subjects as diverse as the failings of the international textiles industry and the assassination of Robert Kennedy. 

“It’s a kind of survey exhibition,” she says, “looking back at work I've made over the past 15 years. It ranges from video pieces to installations, with drawings, collage, and textiles.”
