‘Dearest Someone was asking for you’ features as its centre piece a chair made of the upholstered pelvis and lower spine of a horse. These bones were found by my eldest daughter in the dunes on the coast at Magheroarty not far from here. She took the skull and gifted me the other bones , among them the ribs which formed part of the bones piece in ‘Them’ . The pelvis sat on my studio wall for many many years but all along I knew one day I was going to make a chair. 

It was not until after the deaths of my sister and subsequently my mother that I finally put my ideas into action on being invited to show in Gallery 2 at the R.C.C. This gallery has a descending ramp crossing the entry side and the right hand wall creating a sense of going down into another realm. 

Over the chair is a mantel of black net with rings of marbles wrapped in black nylon. Around the walls are plaster casts of the face I later used in the Undertow for which I  had originally envisioned them. My concepts constantly overlap and feed into each other in this way.
