Kerry Writers’ Museum showcases the work of leading contemporary artists and farmers Lisa Fingleton and Laura Fitzgerald during Heritage Week. They use video and humour to create work that is grounded in rural Ireland and explores global issues like climate change, food systems, community engagement, colonial legacies, conflict and magic.
Lisa Fingleton is an artist, filmmaker, writer and grower who was inspired by a BLT sandwich to illustrate the journey of one sandwich and all its ingredients, uncovering some surprising discoveries along the way.
Lisa uses drawing as a tool to understand the world around her and to explore solutions for big challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Her work invites us to imagine the possibilities and potential for the world we want to see. The Sandwich Story cleverly illustrates the impact mass food production has on our environment and makes us think about the humble sandwich and its journey with every bite.
