Liam's current works draw strongly on Irish mythologies: Finn, the Children of Lir, Dagda's Cauldron; trinities and guardian-warriors and trumpeters...
His website is worth a look through, particularly (under 'Commissions') the 'Brothers' commission from the Pearse museum in Dublin - the stumps on which they're mounted actually formed a single tree. When the tree died, Liam was contacted: he cut down the trunks, sculpted them into a pair of brothers, and then restored them to their place of growth. Lovely. Similarly, when a tree on Fota Island died, Liam transformed it into a Regeneration Circle.
Beautiful wood forms, for interior & exterior. And a lovely family :-)
