Unity

The two ‘Mechanical Cogs’ are joined together to create a sense of 'Unity', as well as a sense of motion to explore the idea of ‘Industrial Movement’. The stone will be worked in the quarry using a combination of both old and new techniques. This combination of CNC technology and hand tools / carving, references the progress associated with ‘the Industrial Movement’. Both carvings are made from the same stone type. One stone is honed with a natural quarry face colouring while the connecting stone is highly polished with the black finish referencing the River Blackwater and the association with the Ulster canal. The cogs will act as 'markers' of reference within the local community for which they have been built.
