My work explores an interior landscape of myth and spirit, seeking poetic light in the female form.My figures shoulder burdens of loss, or are lifted in joy, by love and belonging.
"Shine Silently and Leap"I carved this sculpture from a single block of limestone in Mc Keons Stone yard during the winter of 1986. In this carving I was influenced by the many stories of the poet Nuala Ni Dhonaill on the folklore of Sheila na Gigs . I was looking to express optimism and a defiant sense of self.
