Residency and Commission- Sculpture in Kells


Sculpture in Kells Commissioned to do residency and create new work along with Aileen Lambert for Sculpture in Kells, in response to the Priory, Kells, a fringe event of the  Kilkenny Arts Festival, ‘08. Worked with the primary school children, invited them to listen to the wall for sounds of the past and I photographed this task. The image was printed up 8 ft by 4 ft and left up against the Priory wall during the Kilkenny Arts Festival.



The chain link motif was carried through to gathering childrens used clothes and asking the community who visit the priory to make a prayer chain, knotting them together. This sculpture piece was then placed in the Priory but unfortunately not at the site originally chosen by the artist.
