BESIDE THE RIVER LEE IN FITZGERALD PARK 2022
I usually have difficulty photographing this sculpture, in Fitzgerald Park, because children play on it but for some reason, maybe Covid-19 restrictions, there were very few children in the park when I visited in May 2022.
Betty Gold, a professional sculptor for more than 24 years, has worked in diverse media to create pieces that reflect her artistic focus on intensifying opposites. “I’ve always been interested in opposite ends of the spectrum, such as the contrast of my rugged, oversized, sandblasted outdoor steel sculptures with my indoor, delicate gold-leaf icon visuals.” Her works appear in more than 50 permanent installations and private collections throughout the world.
