The sculpture opposite titled "Temair" is an energy portrait of the intersecting mounds and ditches of Tara, the stronghold of the high kings of Ireland.  The fan form at the side represents four roads.   Next to the embankment on which the palace of Tara was built stands a small 5000 year old burial mound whose interior holds the inscriptions painted on the sculpture in the enclosed steel circle.  The passage of time is symbolised by the diffusing of these petroglyphs with nets and debris from the beaches of the Irish sea.  It now becomes a globe cradled with swaths of pleated hand woven yarn impregnated with the colours of hills, flowers, bog and sky.  The brass extensions on either side represent the ever present devotion to the sun by ancient agrarian people.  For the artist it is a memory of the morning sunlight as it pierced through the dawn over the highest  mound on the Hill of Tara after the Summer Solstice.  Prices start from €50 ($67).  Next Page >>
