Society was in chaos. Lawlessness stalked the work surfaces and fear lived in the shadows between various kitchen items. The Egg-run Socialist government were losing their grip over the other Kitchen items. Deepest of all festering wounds were the Corks. Their purpose filfilled, they wandered aimlessly and wreaked their awful bitterness on any passing citizens. Disorder replaced order and the difference between right and wrong became very blurred. The Eggs were losing control.

The butterfly and birds were taken from my painting “Thoughts and Things” and the white flower is an old plastic earring….the teapot was given to me by my father who knows I collect tiny silver things like this…..from an op shop somewhere, thank you dad! The table is a cork! Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …

Gougane Barra (Irish: Guagán Barra, meaning “Barra’s retreat enclosed by mountains”) is a settlement, west of Macroom in County Cork, Ireland. / FEATURED in: / All Water in Motion, April ‘09 / Historic Churches, April ‘09 / First Things, July ‘09 / Rural Around The Globe, July ‘09 with thanks The name Gougane Barra comes from Saint Finbarr, who is said to have built a monastery on an island in the lake nearby during the 6th century. The present ruins date from around 1700 when a priest called Denis O’Mahony retreated to the island. During the times of the Penal Laws, Gougane Barra’s remoteness meant that it became a popular place for the celebration of the Roman Catholic Mass. This image is of the church at Gougane Barra – built on the island near the monastery/well site at end of 19th century. Canon EOS 400D 18-55mm lens
