Nano Nagle Lantern

Enduring Light

This sculptural/ functional piece was made in collaboration with Eoin Turner, an Irish artist and designer specialising in casting glass.

The Image of a lantern has become a symbol of Nano Nagle, a pioneer of education in Ireland, and so it was seen as quite appropriate to have one made and placed next to her resting place in Cork City. 

The lantern was made using a combination of fabrication and forging, featuring 12m of decorative pineapple twists.
