Semblance
Semblance is a new percent for art sculpture commission for Scoíl Bhríde National School in Edenderry, Co Offaly.
The concept for this new sculpture which celebrates the building of the new 600 pupil school connects ideas about heritage, community, nature, place and spirituality. A series of words will be fabricated in mirror polished stainless steel to form the sculpture. The body of the sculpture will be composed of a series of words selected by 5th and 6th class students that are important to them. It connects the folklore and myth that surrounds Edenderry with a sense of place. The work is being created in collaboration with 5th and 6th class students. A series of workshops conducted with Heritage specialist Melanie Lorien is being carried out with the students to gain exposure to local nature sites and areas of significant archaeological interest. These include the Grand Canal, Blundell Castle, Edenderry Town Hall and others. Semblance is due for completion in early 2021.
