The spiral is a strong energetic symbol that flows through both Southgate Sculptures.
The spiral celebtated in 'The Well of Wisdom' symbolises the flow of eternal energy and the interconnection of all things, seen and unseen. The spiral design features strongly in many of the stone carvings found at the heritage sites within the Boyne Valley.
Our ancient ancestors used the spiral of the Milky Way constellation and the alignment of the sun and moon, to guide their key decisions.
The large metal spiral was hoisted into the air and skillfully rotated into place, to form a connection with the vibrant blue spiral, representing the Boyne river.
Barry unties the last strap to ease the spiral into place.
