Designer: Loretta Quinn
Year: 1993
Bronze sculpture n granite plinth
Beyond the Ocean of Existence demonstrates Quinn's reflective approach, and it is a work replete with religious references. There is a sense of 'folk religion' in much of her art, and whether the symbols derive from the mystery of a Latin mass or the animist universe, a Celtic myth or a Japanese garden, she says they are 'visual references to which other will relate'.
A painted bronze sculpture, Beyond the Ocean of Existance comprises of a single large ball surrounded by eight bronze coils. A series of smaller balls and lengths of column, both triangular and circular in cross-section, surround these coils. At the sculpture's top is a stylised angel. The work is mounted on a granite plinth of dressed and polished blocks
