A series of overlapping 2m high oak screens carved by Phil, comprising sculptural low reliefs constructed from vertical carved oak boards, Diane's glass reliefs cast by Jackson Fawkes Glass
nd flanked by a third element - clumps of growing bamboo.
The imagery carved on both sides of the screens and seen in the modelled sections of cast glass were based on workshops, talks with the clients and staff, and our own research drawing and photographing in Belfast, the north coast and Donegal. Phil designed the form of the screen and Diane made the drawings for Phil's carved surface, by combining all the people who attended the workshop's work with their own research and drawings.
Paul Wigley assisted Phil in the construction of the screens, sculptor Sandra Nuin Fernandez from Spain carved some of the detail on the screens and Chris Butler, Director of Castle Fine Arts Foundry transported and installed the work with Phil.
Materials - oak, cast glass, galvanized steel, LED lighting, bamboo.
