Object of Intrigue 'Corragh' 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. 

Corragh is an area in the Mourne mountain range. The elements that make up the wall piece are a smooth stone found washed up on the shores of Carlingford Lough, a decaying can of aluminium found on Greencastle beach and an old decaying bell found using a metal detector find bought in a local vintage shop.

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
