This piece was first sculpted in wax, then moulded, cast, painted and framed. The moulding and casting process makes all 5 editions related, but, each piece is unique as each one is painted by hand. When I paint I am influenced by my mood, the light and the weather outside. Some are sunny and bright and some are stormy and dark.
If you think this piece would look lovely on your wall but you would like some more information, scroll down to the description!

I worked on this piece on and off over about 3 months. Cong is a favourite spot of mine and the combination of the gothic arch with quite Romanesque detail really attracted me.
The doorway was sculpted by hand in wax, once the sculpt was finished I moved on to moulding and casting. The casting process allows me to achieve the cracks and the crumbling edges that make each edition unique.
Next, I move on to painting, I aim to capture the life and colours I see in the stone. When I paint I am influenced by my mood, the light and the weather outside. Some are sunny and bright and some are stormy and dark.
The framing is the final stage, it sets the piece apart from the world, helps me to focus and see the beauty in the stone without the distractions. It is framed in a grey timber veneer box frame without glass in order to be really able to get up close with the sculpture.
As there is no glass, this piece is not suitable for display in a room with an open fire, or a kitchen for example, where there would be lots of little dirt particles in the air. The piece itself is varnished, so it can be wiped gently with a damp cloth if needed and the frame and the backboard is varnished also, so these can be wiped clean if necessary.
This sculpture of Cong Abbey is seriously limited to only 5 editions, all made by me, here in the West of Ireland. Each edition is cast and painted by me which means each is an original piece and is not the same as any other.
