Looking for lost pieces of yourself?
Eibhlín Ní Chongháile, sculptress and feminine maker of Irish bog oak forms – not possessions – but earthly custodial reminders that have survived many millennia. Amongst a plethora of unconstrained sculptures Eibhlín also creates hermetic collections of jewellery whose ancestral vibrations can be felt when worn on the body. The archaic essence of each form – supports us in reviving our inner wisdom. These are indigenous reminders of our deep rooted, sinuous connection to this earth. All of Eibhlín’s reclaimed forms are ancient and blessed talismans with astonishing boldness and courage – soothsaying – of the mending of our lost connections and invoking our sense of custodianship.
These pieces tell native tales that lead us – to this earth – to the ordinary – to a divine ordinariness.
