We have experience in large-scale projects,including environmental works rooted in modern lyricism such as the Marsh Award nominated To The People of The Sea in Northern Ireland. a.How will the project enhance artistic,cultural and educational values of the viewers of this piece of art? Irish Sculptor Alan Milligan makes it a practice to offer community-wide Umha Aois (Ancient Irish Bronze Age)metal casting workshops,as an introduction to the some of the techniques that will be used to make sculptures.Dr.Nicole Mary Milligan(who also writes novels as New York Times bestselling author N.M.Kelby) creates a narrative webpage and photographs every step of the build to tell the story of the sculpture as it is being fabricated so that community members can look and see the progress being made. l For more see examples such as Cloud Horse on the website themilliganstudio.com.
