I
completed this piece for an art fair in Barcelona in 2013 where I was
exhibiting through the German gallery called Marc De Coen.
I
was very happy with the finish of the piece but I felt it was too
heavy looking and flat in appearance. Still it was a really
accomplished piece of work which took several experiments and
attempts to get to a completion stage. The sanding and polishing of
such a piece is exceptionally laborious and took I don't remember how
long to do and that's not to mention the cost of materials. So for
these reasons I was very apprenhensive about altering it in any way.
I
had exhibited this work in Germany, Spain and in Ireland at The RHA
Annual exhibition after which I loaned it to the Dean Hotel on
Harcourt street. The piece was returned to Madrid in basically two
pieces. I almost had a feckin heart attack when I opened the wooden
box on it's arrival to Madrid. I had nobody else to blame but myself
since I was the one who had wrapped the piece in hast before I left
Dublin.
