TRIBUTE TO THE INNOCENT VICTIMS
Tribute to the innocent victims
OMAGH'S Petals of Hope Rays of Light exhibition which is currently in the town to coincide with the 10th anniversary, is a tribute to victims of the atrocity.
This inspirational show features high-quality copies of the handmade paper art pieces which were created from thousands of floral tributes left in Omagh after the August 1998 bombing.
Original art pieces were created in a series of workshops by schoolchildren, individuals and community groups in the months following the atrocity.
Under the direction of artist Carole Kane handmade paper was created from a pulp of tissue, water and flower petals and coloured using paints and dyes.
The paper was embellished with folding, sticking and stitching and whole flowers and leaves were incorporated to create pictures.
The Petals of Hope exhibition will be at the Strule Arts Centre from today until August 22.
