Standing in a high field overlooking Bantry Bay in the south west of Ireland, this ancient stone carving of a currach with the helmsman urging on four rowers is widely held to celebrate the 6th century voyage of St Brendan, who is thought to have landed in America 1,000 years before Columbus.
Protect me, O Lord, my boat is so small and your sea is so big. Old fisherman's prayer
A very early carving by the Studio's co-founder Kathleen Smyth, this has a carefully polished pure bronze finish with a ceramic resin cold cast pouring.
