Preservation / Plasticisation 


For the Kinship WInter Weekend Lynch presented a sculptural work Preservation / Plasticisation in the park.  The sculpture takes its form from bog oak retrieved from the bog at Tramore Valley Park in the 1990’s and places it within the park as a monument to the existence of these ancient natural relics submerged beneath. The work plays on the confronting material contrasts and ambiguous interplay between the man-made and natural landscape of the site. 

In 2022 Lynch was awarded an artist placement as part of Kinship Project. From August to November she undertook a period of research in the park and developed a body of work which resulted in the presentation of the sculpture Preservation / Plasticisation. 

​The KinShip Project is a durational public artwork at Tramore Valley Park by Cork City Council in partnership with artists Lennon Taylor (Marilyn Lennon and Sean Taylor), supported by the Creative Climate Action Fund. Local project partners include Cork Nature Network, Cork Healthy Cities, Cork’s UNESCO Learning City, Green Spaces for Health, MTU Clean Technology Lab and UCC Environmental Research Institute.  It will provide a programme of artistic residencies, the design and building of a sustainable Eco Lab and series of creative exchanges and knowledge exchanges.
