In Winter Trees, Leo Higgins has elaborated on his most recent series of works which reference Beckett’s iconic tree from ‘Waiting for Godot’, bare and alone but strong.  As a metaphor for life these trees suggests strength and the singular beauty in that strength - so “when everything is stripped away, what is left is what is really there”.

The installation consists of five individual bronze trees, patinated white and mounted on tall black highly polished and reflective granite pedestals.  The grouping creates an unusually intimate space in a busy high street; viewers are drawn in to walk around and between each tree and the haven-like atmosphere  instils a sense of solitude and retreat from hectic urban life.  For the time being the trees will remain white.  However, to mark the changing seasons, Leo will patinate the trees green in summer and burnt ochre in the autumn.

Quiet Mind by sculptor Orla de Bri 




Orla de Bri's sculpture entitled 'Quiet Mind' was a 16ft pyramid shape bronze in a blue patina with a crouched figure which sits in a polished cut-out section of the pyramid. Sitting among the hustle and bustle of Grafton Street, this pensive figure is sitting quietly reflecting on life.
