DescriptionThe layering of materials in Six Counties is characteristic of Donagh’s work, in which she frequently combines abstract and graphic elements with figurative imagery. Here a map of the six counties of Northern Ireland hovers over an image of the H-Blocks of the Maze prison, which closed in 2000 following the Good Friday Agreement.On View
