Gateway for Imbolc, 2024
Gateway for Imbolc embodies a transition from winter to spring.
Inspired by St Brigid’s Cross, traditionally a symbol of protection above the front door of the home, this installation marks a threshold of safety, transition and prompts reflection on extending the caring mindset outdoors. Imbolc’s return to life is mirrored in new shoots and whispers of reemergence.
Encouraging interaction, visitors are invited to adorn the sculpture with their St Brigid’s crosses throughout the month, intertwined with repeated Twelve Rush Crosses, resulting in a collective celebration of home and nature, entangled.
