Qubba (Dome) 2008
My current practice is focused on examining the cultural context and transient demographic make up of a city, community or space and examining how best to make, from matter, the form and order which reflects the core principals of the people who live within its centre and peripheral boundaries.
‘Qubba’ (Dome) is one in a series of Dome studies, examining their structure and context. My starting point is within the Mosques and Churches of contemporary Dublin. Examining the principals of symmetry and order which lie within their concrete facades and how this is reflective of the journey and lives of the people who utilise these sacred spaces.
