"Pool of Light"

I collected a rock from Killiney Hill beach and made a bronze replica with the front surface carved out as a pool. A hot patina of Phero Cyanide & Copper Nitrate was used to create a marbled royal blue effect on the body of the piece and the carved was left bronze. I was inspired by Hawking's Theory on radiation which proved that when matter enters the event horizon of a black hole the protons split and a double version of the matter radiates out into the universe. It made me muse on the idea that universe is reflected in everything and we are all a part of it, every river, ocean, rock, body, cell. All that matter existing since the big bang, never to be created or destroyed.
