Initiated by Cliodhna Cussen, ‘Cloch’ is an evocation of the art of stone-carving, drawing on work being produced by James McKenna and on the Kilkenny sculpture workshop of 1975.
The main aspect that interested me was the physical relationship between a person and inanimate material. I wanted to suggest that it’s a very sensual material. The clue I got for that was a sculptor who said to me, ‘I love to see people touching my sculptures’. – Bob Quinn, quoted in ‘Irish Cinema’ by Brian McIlroy.
