IN MEMORY OF ABSENT LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS BY VERONA STELLET [SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT 2016]

Because of it location this was not easy to photograph so the images of the lighthouse are not as sharp as I would like.

Sculpture in Context 2016 award winner. Exhibition runs until October 21st 2016 at The National Botanic Gardens, Dublin.

“As a child I was mesmerized by my father's stained glass creations and the play of light prisms. Over the past ten years my creative journey has been to combine glass and crystal to make art glass which blends the aesthetic and personal. My pieces are necessarily timeless, but always alive and relevant.” -Bianca Divito

EWE-TUBE BY MARK RYAN [SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT 2016]

I especially liked this.

YouTube - For those of you who are not from a farming background a ewe is a mature female sheep. Here in Ireland it is pronounced as yew but in some parts it may be pronounced as Yo.

Mark Ryan is a sculptor. He works in a variety of materials – wood, clay, plaster, steel, stainless steel and bronze.  He welds, cuts, casts and shapes. The scale of his work varies from small scale intimate works to very large scale sculptures in public spaces. His work is included in many national and international collections.

He has received the Braun prize at Carlow Eigse and the Halward Sculpture prize. His work is selected regularly for the RHA annual show and Sculpture in Context, the Botanic Gardens Dublin and by various galleries throughout Ireland.
