Jeanne van Heeswijk, Dutch artist, visits Dublin


Giant Wooden Bunny - Jeanne van Heeswijk

Last week some of the students from 3rd year took a trip to Dublin to see Dutch artist Jeanne van Heeswijk.

Unfortunately there was not enough interest (being a Friday) to get the wheels on the bus rolling, so some of us had to stay behind. 

I think we missed something good... but I took a look at her website.  http://www.jeanneworks.net/
It's very extensive but it gave me some idea of what she's about.
I  really liked the giant wooden bunny (see image).

I especially liked the sound of her "Talking Trash" project and would love to do some sort of experiment regarding how much waste we produce in our college.

Anyone got any ideas?
