Cill Rialaig


Material; Cedar tree from Glanleam house, Valentia


‘Cill Rialaig’ is a sculptural seat formed by removing all perishable material such as bark and rot. The resulting geometrical form is the one found within the material. Through the process of direct carving, the material has become a version of itself.
The Cedar tree from which the seat is made was found fallen at the sub-tropical gardens of Glanleam house, Valentia Island. Once cut and shaped, the faceted surface was scorched and oiled.
