Catalogue Note

The present work is the first from an edition of three.

In creating the present large-scale work, it is the process involved that particularly interested the artist;  O'Reilly created an original wax model from a very small nodule of wax moulded by his thumb and middle finger and transposed it to the monumental scale of Bull, reflecting the artist's ongoing exploration of the universal theme of creation.
