Dreamline

think human beings are the most interesting things there are.... The searching of a head to see what’s in it, to see how it ticks or works... all that is part of trying to recreate not alone the physical likeness but the personality. Seamus Murphy

Yes, an unashamed cheat today - this was taken yesterday on my brief jaunt to Cork city. In Fitzgerald Park, which is beautiful and right by the river Lee, there is a sculpture trail - some old, some very new and some tucked away like this. The sculpture park was partly the idea of Seamus Murphy, a highly regarded and prolific local sculptor.More about him here - nicely produced as a school project. This work is called Dreamline and it's easy to miss but I was very taken by it. 

His son Colm  was the bodhran player for De Danaan, as well as being a very talented artist in his own right. He lived in Kilcrohane for a bit. We met him in the Tin Pub once. It's all connected.
