Roscommon, such as her most recent topic of exploration; Roscommon\u2019s Livestock Marts, all through an artistic lens. Lately, she been researching materials produced and found in Co.Roscommon for design and creative purposes such as \u2018<em>Terrazzo\u2019<\/em>. Terrazzo is defined as a material that \u2018consists of marble chippings or granite, set in concrete and polished to give a smooth surface\u2019. Terrazzo was and still is a very popular material manufactured in Roscommon, with its earliest production dating back to the 1940s when \u2018Irish Mosaics Ltd.\u2019 was first set up by John Crane. The project intends to focus on creating a number of terrazzo sculptures using aggregates extracted from local quarries. The intention is to create a body of work that represents Roscommon\u2019s long-standing history of terrazzo and mosaic production, acknowledging Roscommon\u2019s <\/span><\/span><\/span>rich geological profile. The work will challenge the traditional usage of terrazzo which is often represented in a grey-muted colour palette. A series of concrete pieces that explore pastel pigments, organic shapes and three-dimensional forms will be created. It&#8217;s important that the environmental impacts of this project are considered as only locally produced materials will be used where possible. The project will continue on the theme of my practice which aims to raise awareness of our heritage\u00a0and increase knowledge and enjoyment of Roscommon\u2019s heritage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":25094,"template":"","class_list":["post-25093","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pastel Terrazzo Sculpture by Laura Earley - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As an artist, Laura Earley is passionate about exploring communities and industries within Co.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/pastel-terrazzo-sculpture-by-laura-earley\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pastel Terrazzo Sculpture by Laura Earley - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As an artist, Laura Earley is passionate about exploring communities and industries within Co.
