CHANGE OF PACE BY DERVELLA McNEE [PART OF A TRASHING MACHINE - ACCORDING TO THE CATALOGUE]

I always thought that the word was threshing [that is how it was pronounced when I lived on a farm in Donegal back in the 50s].

According to Wikipedia: The thrashing machine, or, in modern spelling, threshing machine (or simply thresher), was first invented by Scottish mechanical engineer Andrew Meikle for use in agriculture. It was devised (c. 1786) for the separation of grain from stalks and husks.

As a matter of interest the artist was awarded the Zozimus Award [Sculpture In Context 2016]: “The Zozimus Award. For a work of distinction in any medium exhibited in the gallery, was awarded to:
Dervella McNee for Mosquito, Mosquito”
