Clay sculpture: The Interrogation 2

I introduced this figure group in a blog from July 17, 2009. Now my welder, Gareth Regan from Ballaghaderreen in County Roscommon, has made a steel stand for my sculpture.
It is on display at Perspectives 4, a group exhibition at Ballina Arts Centre, County Mayo, during the month of November 2009.

Craft crank, earthenware glazes, Nichrome wire, steel. 2009.
Size: 23 x 9 x 27cm

Fabric design: Place mats

My early designs were usually created because I needed a gift for someone. These place mats here obviously were Christmas gifts. Since every member of my family was to receive one, I divided a suitable Christmas motive into four parts. The decor only makes sense when all pieces are placed together.
