Part of The Clare Collection
The Clare Collection is a captivating series of wall-mounted stone reliefs, each carved by hand from Irish limestone sourced in County Galway. Though the material originates just beyond Clare’s northern boundary, it shares a geological lineage with the Burren itself – fossil-rich, layered, and formed under ancient seas. This stone is not merely a surface to be worked but a partner in the storytelling, its natural veining, tonal variation, and embedded fossils echoing the land it helps to depict.
Each piece in the collection is a tactile tribute to the rugged terrain, cultural memory, and quiet drama of the Burren in County Clare. These reliefs are not idealised landscapes but grounded interpretations – shaped by both the enduring features of the region and the subtle, shifting moods of light, weather, and time.
Lahinch
Carved from Irish limestone, this piece captures the meeting point of land and sea at Lahinch – a place defined by rhythm, movement, and the constant interplay of wind, wave, and stone. Known for its long, sweeping beach and Atlantic surf, Lahinch is both a landscape of leisure and a threshold into wilder terrain beyond.
In this relief, the stone is worked to suggest shifting tides and layered sands, with gentle undulations echoing the movement of water across rock. The texture of the limestone – veined, fossil-marked, and naturally weathered – reinforces the sense of time flowing through the landscape, linking the present to ancient shorelines.
Part of The Clare Collection, this piece celebrates the quieter moments of Clare’s Atlantic coast – where the drama is not in scale, but in rhythm, repetition, and the enduring pull of the sea.
