    Bowls & Dishes

    I have been experimenting in making some small bowls and dishes. I’m trying to get the stone as thin as I can to give them a lightness not associated with stone objects.

    Beechnuts

      I did a couple of beechnuts over the summer.

    Fucus II (Bladderwrack seaweed)

    I spent much of the winter grinding away at Fucus II. I took me way longer and became more complicated than I intended.  I think I just got carried away. It went  to the annual “Richard Scott Sculpture @ Ballymaloe” (21st June to 3rd September 2017) where Richie managed to sell it. It went to the same home […]

    Mill Cove Gallery & Gardens

    Two of my sculptures will be exhibited at the Mill Cove Gallery in Castletownbere, West Cork for the summer. I took them down last weekend and the bluebells where in full bloom in the gardens. Lovely gardens and gallery, it is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    I have been making these small pieces out of very dark limestone from the “Butlersgrove formation” which is the classic “Kilkenny Marble” (even though it is not really a marble) as small affordable gifts.
