Art Released on the Streets of Dublin

Over the last couple of weeks I've been attending a course on Working with Children Through Art, with Jole Bortoli and Art to Heart. In one particular excercise we were given some tin food trays to use as a sculpture material. I made this Moonage Daydream VW Machine. On leaving the class I placed the tiny rover on a piece of green at the corner of Aungier St. and Cuffe St. Needless to say it wasn't there when I passed that spot later in the week.

Ideas on Public Sculpture

I have started a new blog called Ideas on Public Sculpture. This blog will display selected images from an ongoing photgraphic project of the same name. For more info click here.

New Sculpture

Recently I have been trying to fulfill ideas from my notebooks. These sculptures are the result.

Switch Update

Last night I headed down to Nenagh, Co Tipperary for the launch of Switch 2009 in which I have a video piece. Despite the rain's best efforts a great night was had by all and a special thanks needs to be given to the Switch organisers for all their hard work and hospitality. Find more info here

Here are some shots taken on our walk around the town.

Switch 2009

I have been selected for Switch 2009. A video piece I produced a few years ago untitled(2006) will be projected onto the front window of an unused premises in Nenagh town centre. The theme of the project is playfulness. I'm really looking forward to seeing this work in a new context and meeting all the other artists involved. Find more info here.
