<strong>Cheryl</strong> <strong>Brown</strong><br />
<strong>about</strong>:<br />
<strong>Sculptor</strong> <strong>Cheryl</strong> <strong>Brown</strong> <strong>works</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>bronze</strong> <strong>and</strong> cast silver. Her unique<br />
silver pieces are contained in sheet copper boxes <strong>and</strong> her impressive<br />
freest<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>bronze</strong> <strong>works</strong> are made as both one-offs <strong>and</strong> in small<br />
editions.<br />
<strong>Cheryl</strong>’s early work was influenced by dance <strong>and</strong> movement but a trip to<br />
Spain in 2005 saw her change direction. A visit to the bull ring museum<br />
in the ancient town of Ronda proved inspirational. The stunning beauty<br />
of the victorious matadors <strong>and</strong> the delicate bull skulls preserved in cases<br />
created strong images to work <strong>with</strong>. She returned to Ronda in 2006 <strong>and</strong><br />
developed new work from the experience. <strong>Cheryl</strong>’s bird studies evolved<br />
from her bull heads. One in particular called ‘sunbird’ seemed to open<br />
up a new abstracted way of working. This led to more textural pieces<br />
such as her pheasant, prado deer <strong>and</strong> goat. The rugged l<strong>and</strong>scape of<br />
Leitrim is now proving to be a great source of inspiration to <strong>Cheryl</strong>.<br />
When creating her sculptures <strong>Cheryl</strong> uses a spontaneous approach, allowing the materials to inform how the finished<br />
pieces look. Her work is in both public <strong>and</strong> private collections, including AIB, Ballsbridge, the Office of Public Works,<br />
Dublin <strong>and</strong> the Causeway Hospital, Coleraine.<br />
