Munster in 30 Artworks, No 30: The Way the Fairies Went, Sneem
James Scanlon's Slíghe na Síoga /The Way the Fairies Went, in Sneem, Co Kerry.
If ever there was an artwork that seems to have been magicked into existence, it is James Scanlon’s Slíghe na Síoga/The Way the Fairies Went.
The sculpture, a series of four pyramidical structures, is situated on a patch of boggy ground by the church in the village of Sneem, Co Kerry, and is built primarily of local stone, along with wood and glass. Although it was constructed as recently as 1989, it looks as if it has been there for thousands of years.
