Nettle Coat

Director: Pat Collins and Sharon Whooley

In  2012, the Arts Council of Ireland celebrated 60 years of supporting the arts with a series of exhibitions titled ‘Into the Light’.  To mark the occasion, the Arts Council and RTÉ supported the making of four short films which respond creatively to their collection.  This short film  reflects the public’s response to one work from the collection: Alice Maher’s ‘Nettle Coat’.
