'Book Reader with Leaves' can be seen as part of MacWilliam's solo exhibition 'Table Turning', supported by The Arts Council of Ireland and Limerick Arts Office.

[Ormston House @OrmstonHouse]

'Book Reader with Leaves' (2025) by Susan MacWilliam has been informed by the interior of Ormston House and its pillar capitals.

These sculptures suggest the book as a form of technology that allows intellectual exchange from one person to another, a metaphor for telepathy.
