(144.8 by 88.9cm) Provenance: Collection of George and Maura McClelland Around 1983 George McClelland approachedWexford weaver Terry Dunne to create five unique tapes- tries based on original artworks by Tony O’Malley from his collection. According to Dunne, these tapes- tries were originally intended for inclusion in the artist’s Arts Council Retrospective in 1984 however this idea was never realised. Instead the artworks remained in the McClelland private collection. We are grateful to Terry Dunne for his kind assistance in cataloguing this work. Dunne continues his successful practice in County Wexford and has since produced commissioned piec- es for O’Malley’s wife Jane, Michael Smurfit & The K Club, Co.
