APOLLO BY EMER O’DONNELL [SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT 2017]
This was difficult to photograph and my photographs fail to show the fine details. I will try again with a different lens. Emer O’Donnell was born in Dublin Ireland. She is currently completing a BA in Fine Art (Hons) Ceramics and Glass in the National College of Art and Design.
Emer uses the technique of graal to explore the properties of glass attempting to draw the eye beyond the surface … it is possible that this is what made it difficult for me to photograph her work.

SANCTUARY BY JACKIE BALL [SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT 2017]
Sculpture In Context is my favourite event of the year. Unfortunately it is very obvious that fewer artists have been involved this year compared to previous years … I overheard someone saying that there were ten fewer artists compared to 2016.
Jackie is a sculptor living and working in Dun Laoghaire. She received her degree in Visual Communications from DIT and subsequently ran her own Design Consultancy for twelve years before pursuing a career in ceramics and sculptural work. In 2010, she won a Sculpture in Context Award for ‘Clip Art’.

CHRIST THE KING CATHOLIC CHURCH [CABRA DUBLIN]
I never walked along Cabra Road until today.
Cabra (Irish: An Chabrach, meaning "the poor land") is a suburb on the Northside of Dublin. It is approximately 2 kilometres northwest of the city centre, in the administrative area of Dublin City Council. It was commonly known as Cabragh until the early 20th century. Cabra is also a parish in the Fingal South West deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. It is served by the Church of Christ the King.

PREVIEW OF THE SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT EXHIBITION [DETAILS AND ARTIST IDENTITY NOT YET AVAILABLE] REF-120470
Sculpture In Context 2016 at the National Botanic Gardens,Glasnevin, Dublin 9.
8th September to 21st October 2016
One of the events that I really look forward to every year is the Sculpture In Context exhibition in the Botanic Gardens and this year is no exception. Today I cheated to some extent because I visited a few days before the event opens to the public. The downside is that the catalogue was not available so I cannot identify the artwork or the artists at this stage but I will do so later in the month.
Last year I switched from the Sony NEX-7 to the new Sony Full Frame A7RM2 and while it was delivered in time for me to photograph the exhibition the full frame lenses that I needed did not arrive until Christmas week.
This year I do have a selection of lenses one of which is the Batis 25mm which I used today. I am in the process of upgrading to the Sony family of lenses but the 70-200 which was ordered about three months ago may not arrive until the end of the month.
