WHO MADE THE WORLD BY CLIODHNA CUSSEN – LOCATED AT THE HERBERT PARK HOTEL IN BALLSBRIDGE
About a year ago I came across a document explaining the idea behind this sculpture and unfortunately I cannot fine the document in question and I cannot fully remember in detail the content. The globe is the earth and it is treated like a football be men [males] … it is abused.
The spelling of the name appears to vary – Cliona, Cliodhna or Cliodna – but it would appear that the correct spelling is Cliodhna.
Cliodhna Cussen was born and educated in Co. Limerick. She attended third level education in Dublin and Florence and is presently based in Dublin and Kerry. She works as a full-time sculptor using mostly bronze and stone. Cliodhna does graphic work in the Graphic Studio Dublin and she also illustrates and publishes Irish Children’s Stories. She has exhibited widely and won a number ofawards for her work, including the Listowel Gold Medal for sculpture and the sculpture prize at the Oireachtas.
