1Rowan GillespieInspired by a sketch on the late Gerry Ryan show called Sil, Pater and Ned the sculpture depicts the characters who would have frequented the village square and The Sandyford House Pub. The artist felt such men were fast disappearing from modern Ireland and sees his sculpture as a monument to the ordinary man.Sandyford Village199653.26993934906325-6.22476467800694718412.9989999998725870.7864999995 2Agnes ConwayDreaming about The Celestial Mountain is about journeys that will never be made except in the imagination. The path to the summit forms a labyrinth, and steps are inscribed with a poem that describes the preparations required for a successful journey.Marlay Park201153.26993923316168-6.275526429717262715027.3479000004725787.8763999995 3Catherine McCormackThis piece was conceived when the artist was inspired by vast spaces and horizons being broken by standing monoliths, thus creating an energy and tension between the vertical and the horizontal. The use of the three forms was considered on many levels, drawing on elements such as earth, air and water.Marlay Park198653.272182629976506-6.26694412037935715593.7105726051.3161999993 4Eileen McDonaghEclipse stands directly on grass, appearing to defy gravity by not rolling over to allow the heavy element at the top to rest. The sculpture is cylindrical in form, standing upright with a thinner tube form emerging from its side on the same plane.Marlay Park198353.27591210829141-6.265778596804597715661.3742000004726468.1320999991 5Vincent BrownThe “Necromancer” springs from the grass, right arm out in a calm yet commanding gesture, directed towards a glaring head emerging from the grass some two metres away. The pieces are constructed from lengths of thick steel plate; the sections are cut, shaped and welded together to form the features of the figure.Marlay Park198753.27651824825671-6.266740627064237715595.5828999998726534.0129000004 6Cathy CarmanStanding still and alien-like, from one side of the Solitary Figure the sun reflects the metallic stainless steel shine and the sculpture appears as though it were a ?two-dimensional image from a future age. From the opposite side the cut out shape is a dark menacing shadow emerging from the trees.

No one figure is central, both seem to flow, jump and dance in and out of each other in a jubilant and graceful movement.Blackrock Park198653.304770194054996-6.185484476976201720934.4357000003729811.7166000009 11Rowan GillespieBlackrock Dolmen depicts three elegantly elongated figures holding up a large capstone to symbolise the essence of Blackrock.

It is a statement about our intimate and primordial dependence on the land and how it has nurtured us physically, mentally and spiritually over time.Brookfield Grove, off Carysfort Avenue199253.296471440825236-6.177725952562992721475.0308999997728901.5936999992 14Colm BrennanDedicated to the memory of painter Cecil King, this piece was erected specifically to be interactive for young children.

It is as if the sea urchin has been thrown up onto the shore by a wave.Newtownsmith, Sandycove199853.289097000050475-6.123953326769758725080.7648999998728173.9263000004 22Niall O’NeillOriginally sited in Marlay Park, Archer II was designed with children in mind. The work deals with the tension and release of energy and specifically expresses a momentary release of energy; frozen time, petrified, solidified.Newtownsmith, Sandycove198553.28846600859049-6.123212130071467725132.0214728105.0232999995 23Julie Merriman/ Nicos NicolaouThis work was commissioned as part of the refurbishment scheme of Glasthule Buildings. The idea for this work came from the design of the buildings themselves and the manner in which they are stacked, one upon the other. The artists wanted to repeat this stacking pattern within a structure that pointed to the farthest places imaginable.Glasthule Buildings, Glasthule199753.28656610700153-6.122620948027211725176.9877000004727894.6859000009 24Dick JoyntA central theme of Joynt’s work is the celebration of family and humanity. In this sculpture the mother, with unrelenting strength, holds aloft the curled child. The simple curved forms and the balanced bulk of the figures gives the work a monumental, timeless and universal quality that is fitting for this residential location.Eden Park, Glasthule198653.28766533138934-6.126235108704151724932.8255000003728010.6545000002 25Noel ScullionThis sculpture is based on a section of solid shadow of a seated woman aligned in a north-south direction and with the noon summer solstice.
