Eye Witness

On the approach to Ballina, the N26 cuts through a hill, leaving the “Rath” of Ballynaraha perched on one half; a thicket of whitethorn and hawthorn. Eye Witnessis placed on the other half of the hill across the road and faces towards the Rath, as if listening, or in communication with the Ancient and mysterious feature. The pattern etched in the bronze is conceived to “reflect” the tangled but strangely symmetrical patterns of branches and growth of the Rath and the bronze reflects light, particularly in bright sunlight.
