    Hollywoodrath – Installed

    My heart always sinks when I hear that distinctive clink and clack of an excavator bucket and the whurrr and trundle of its tracks, as it usually means that a hedgerow is being removed and/or some beautiful bit of wildness and habitat is being scrubbed out. General agricultural policies (Food Harvest 2020 etc.) and the […]

I found it difficult to do being away from home while working on the commission in Stradbally. However, given to choice between being outside doing stonework or […]

    Hollywooodrath – a commission

    I was invited in the spring to submit for a sculpture commission for a housing development in north Co. Dublin. To my delight I was awarded with the commission in early summer and it has kept me very busy all summer and will do well into the autumn. The residential scheme and  the townland is […]

    I made a new bowl in the New Year, then started exploring and playing around with forms in the process. This resulted in two new sculptures, “VOID I” and “Paired Impression”, which I submitted to the RHA Annual Open Exibition 2018. I was very glad to have them both accepted.  Varnishing Day will take Place […]
