Paul Brophy

Ceramic sculptor, Paul Brophy create totemic, tactile objects in symbolic style that goes beyond time. His latest sculptures are light towers, symbolic of the lighthouses mixed in Celtic myth. The lighthouse is nothing if not the most phallic clock in the world. Its message is composed in light dark…flash, eclipse, flash, eclipse…keeping us safe from within and without.
