Review of Cosmic Wetness, Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, written by Aoife Banks

“A joyous, affecting congruence of feminine erotic pleasure and sensory knowledges… Ridged conical vessels stand erect, an upturned laboratory funnel penetrates an iridescent blown glass amplifier shape, while other blown glass forms lie on their side, blooming out and tapering in to form pointed nipples, placed oh so teasingly close yet not quite touching one another.”

‘“I’m horny for physics,” smiles the artist, Karen Donnellan.
