Dámhsa na Lasracha (Dance of the Flames) was commission as a mosaic relief sculpture on the theme of fire, to commemorate June 20th, 1921 when the village of Knockcroghery was burnt to the ground by the Black and Tans. When drawing fire I was inspired by the way the flames disappeared upwards. This was developed into a row of flame calligraphy. In addition the flames represent the furnaces of Knockcroghery’s historical Clay Pipe factory.
