Linda Brunker (b.1966) CLIABHAN (CRADLE), 2005 signed with initials, dated and numbered at base bronze (one of three artist's proofs) 45 by 23cm., 17.75 by 9in. All proceeds from the sale of this lot are to be donated to Pact, an independent Irish charity founded in 1952 offering support and counselling for unexpected pregnancy, adoption, information and tracing. In 2004 Pact adopted a beech woodland in East Tymon Park, south Co. Dublin, regenerating the area to mark fifty years of their organisation. They commissioned Linda Brunker to create a bronze sculpture for the park. The present piece is a maquette for that commission.
