Preservation / Plasticisation takes its sculptural form from bog oak retrieved from Carroll’s Bog at Tramore Valley Park in the 1990’s. The artist Maeve Lynch placed the sculpture within the park as a monument to the existence of these ancient natural relics submerged beneath. The work plays on the confronting material contrast and ambiguous interplay, between the man-made and natural landscape of the site. The sculpture was temporarily installed and documented on site within the woodland area of the park in November 2022.
