A fantastic, well-researched 24 page document by artist Sean Lynch in which he focusing on a selection of Dublin monuments that have been “used and abused” down the years. Those featured are The Crampton Memorial, The Bowl of Light, Nelson’s Pillar, James Joyce’s Tower, Sean’s Spiral, Anna Livia and the Millennium Countdown Clock. All of whom have been removed for a variety of reasons.
It can be downloaded here.
Lynch wrote the piece in the run up to the unveiling of his Me Jewel & Darlin’ public artwork display on O’Connell Street which ran from January 2011 to April 2012.
A great read. Brings a lot of stuff back to me.
Incidentally, this may be one of the Nelson’s head outings referred to but not identified.
