Post-apocalyptic themed project resulting dry-point etching inspired by the phrase "ashes-to-ashes, dust-to-dust", and mycelium's role in decomposition and creating life from death and decay.
One possible meaning of the Triskelion, spiral, and Triskele in Irish and Celtic culture, is to represent new beginnings and growth. It could be symbolic for the three stages of life - birth, life, and death. Its continuous nature could represent death being but a new beginning. Due to this Celtic and Irish connection, I thought it fitting to include some Ogham writing in the piece, which reads: "deannach", the Irish for "dust", as is also seen on the other side of the mushroom.
The two pieces of text and the mushroom in the centre form three focal points in the artwork, similar to the three spirals in the Triskelion.
Tionscadal iar-apocalyptic ar théama an eitseáil tirim-phointe spreagtha ag an bhfrása "luaithreach go luaithreach, deannach go deannaigh", agus ról an pór i lobhadh agus ag cruthú beatha ó bhás agus lobhadh.
Brí amháin a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ag an Triskelion, an bíseach, agus an Triskele sa chultúr Gaelach agus Ceilteach, is ea tús agus fás nua a léiriú. D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith siombalach do na trí chéim den saol - breith, beatha, agus bás. D’fhéadfadh a nádúr leanúnach an bás a léiriú ach tús nua. Mar gheall ar an gceangal Ceilteach agus Gaelach seo, shíl mé go raibh sé oiriúnach roinnt scríbhneoireachta Ogham a chur san áireamh sa phíosa, a léann: "deannach", an Ghaeilge le haghaidh "deannach", mar atá le feiceáil ar an taobh eile den muisiriún freisin.
Cruthaíonn an dá phíosa téacs agus an muisiriún sa lár trí phointe fócais sa saothar ealaíne, cosúil leis na trí bís sa Triskelion.
