1997

A large granite boulder containing two facing mirrors with many fibre optic light points behind. These are reflected in great rings of light dots to fill the illusion of a large void within the stone. Nearby a white quartz boulder with a deep, sand blasted handprint can be slowly rotated on its bearings. This piece echoes many concerns with planetary alignments, orbits, materials and space as found in the mounds at the Boyne Valley.
