Created as part of Strata at CCA Derry-Londonderry, the 3 'frieze's draw from rococco-Palladian plaster decorations in stately homes. These two architectural principles uniquely merged in ordered, symmetrical re-presentations of natural splendour on the interior walls of plantation homes in Ireland. Drawing from the plaster mouldings of Florencecourt (the home of the 3rd Earl of Enniskillen, who invited this land's first documented underground exploration), it considers the aesthetic representations of land's dominion, calcite's material forms, and time and agriculture sloughing into underground space.
