I was asked by artist curator Pauline O’Connell to take part in an exhibition she is curating at Killenure Castle, Co. Tipperary on 9th May 2015. She had particularly liked my stone “pelvis ” piece and thought a bone sculpture would fit with the exhibitions aims.

“This year’s exhibition aims to reawaken a ‘ghost’ of times past.  My curatorial thinking relates to ‘time’, the history / the lives (both human and animal) the domestic activities, the utilitarian aspects of the working farm from the past embedded in the historic ruins of the castle and in the surrounding farm buildings.  Whilst the fabric of the stables, tack rooms, hay lofts / gallery spaces are in tact and have not been affected by any embellishments, there remains a presence in the vacant spaces, an echo of what was once there.  So, it is this ‘ghost’ that I am interested in, a reawakening through artistic interventions and installations” (Pauline O’Connell).
