Did I miss you again?

2018, mixed media, 50x25x25 cm

An installation drawn from Maurice Harron’s iconic public sculpture Hands across the Divide, symbolising the division between Catholic and Protestant in the doubly named City of Derry~Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

Did I miss you again? reflects on the the monument’s two figures; frozen in an unfinished reconciliation, almost meeting, but never truly joining. There exists between them an eternal gap.

Did I miss you again?

A miniature replica of Maurice Harron’s two figures, 3D scanned in high detail, placed at the center of two clocks. Each clock is set to a time zone which corresponds to significant coordinates and moments in ongoing political conflicts. The pairs of counterposed figures rotate with the passing seconds, their outstretched hands recreating Harron’s moment of unresolved reconciliation; continuously converging and inevitably missing.
