b'Meet sculptor Joe McCaul, creator of the sculpture exhibited \\u2018Potato People\\u2019 at the National Famine Museum. \\u201cThe Potato People\\u201d exhibition draws inspiration from poignant accounts of the Irish Famine, particularly the book \\u201cThe Truth Behind the Famine\\u201d by Jerry Mulvihill. Through these stories of the Famine, Joe connects us with the individuals whose lives were tragically affected. Joe has given each sculpture a name and background story. This enriching addition enhances the experience, enabling visitors to connect more intimately with the artworks and grasp the historical significance they represent. Joe hopes to find support to bring the ehibition to Canada and have it displayed in locations that were particularly meaningful to the arriving famine victims.'
