Summary
| Description |
English: I did not realise, until today, that I had photographed other work by Betty Newman. [See Comments]
Báite is sited on Essex Quay / Wood Quay, Dublin. It was commissioned for the Dublin millenium by Dublin City Council, AIB, Sculpture Society and FÁS Finglas. It is 35ft long, 11 and a half feet wide and 9 feet tall. It is fabricated in Corten Steel and the terminals are cast in bronze. The seats are made from native oak. The sculpture Báite (sunken or drowned) is inspired by the site Wood Quay. The remains of this Viking settlement was excavated prior to the construction of Dublin City Council head office. The long narrow site and its Viking past is what inspired the sculpture. It is a functional sculpture, in that it connects with its past history and also offers seating for the tired and weary. The seating steps out the shape of the ship and the steel ribs give it a skeletal appearance. The people of Dublin lovingly call it "The Boat That Don't Float". 1988. Bronze, Steel, Oak.
