“Fimbulvinter” 39x25x23cm €750 Ceramic Sculpture
Ceramic boat named after a historic site a few miles from my studio near Ballyferriter, Dingle, Co.Kerry.. Dún an Óir means “Fortress of gold”.
In 1578 a ship on the way from Canada and laden with tons of what they thought was gold ore was wrecked here, and gave the name to the site. The stones turned out be Iron Pyrite so no gold, but the black stones with golden glimmer might still be found in the seabed here.. Two years later this very site became famous for a horrific massacre of 600 people during the Second Desmond Rebellion.
As in the Canadian golden stones, the shimmer in the glaze on my ceramic boat is created by Iron, not gold💛
