GOLDEN CONKER
Bronze, Polished Rim, 20cm (h).
Provenance: From the Artist's studio.
Conkers are seeds, and in 1990 Sonja Landweer made a a study of different kinds of seeds. Conkers are widely used in Ireland and in many cultures for games and, notwithstanding their relevance as seeds with great organic potential, there is also a playful quality to the conkers shown here; both bronze, both with polished rims but differing in the deep golden glow of one and the resonant darkness and contrasting gilded rim, of the other. They were shown in the Sonja Landweer Retrospective in Carlow in 2011.
