Installation in Freshford, Kilkenny, Ireland

This sculpture was carved in Ireland from Irish limestone.
It was a site specific installation, built during an international sculpture symposium held in Kilkenny county in 1995.
It sits contemplatively in a corner of a triangular town green with the Catholic Church on one side and the Church of Ireland on the other. The Church of Ireland was built on the remains of a medieval church and still has its ornately carved 12th century Romanesque doorway. The square is surrounded by chestnut trees that yield red flowers which were in bloom at the time that this photo was taken in early June.
