Vanishing Art

Tuesday, November 18 transition year students went out on a short art tour. We went to see a sculpture exhibition called 'Vanishing Art,' and it was held in Carton House this year. It was an indoor and outdoor exhibition, and the larger sculptures were found outside and were placed at different areas around Carton house and the first sculpture that stood out to me was a sculpture of a bird hanging from a tree. The sculpture was called, 'Seraphin,' and the sculptor of this piece is Imogen Stafford. The sculpture looked creepy but I think that was why it stood out to me featuring the different types of materials used. My second favourite sculpture was called 'Blue Moon,' sculpted by Catherine E. Greene. This sculpture caught my eye because I thought it looked unique but it was also simple.
