Object of Intrigue 'Commodagh' by Sarah Cathers

This beautiful mixed media wall piece is made from found objects. It is part of a collection of wall pieces that are a love letter to the Mourne Landscape where Sarah grew up. Most of the objects featured were found in the Newry and Mourne area and surrounding coast line of Carlingford Lough. 

Commodagh is an area in the Mourne mountain range.  The wall piece is made from the top of an aluminium drinks can slightly rusted, found on the beach in Newcastle, a rounded stone found on the beach in Warrenpoint. The crocheted elements are made by Sarah, from a box of different net-making yarns that belonged to a fisherman who used to work on Carlingford Lough in the 90's
