David Beattie

David Beattie’s Tokens is a new artwork commissioned for TULCA, produced from redundant car parts and exploring the value of waste material in a carbon-based society. A series of small spherical sculptures are the result of Beattie’s smelting and extraction of precious metals from catalytic converters in automobiles. Tokens also gently refers to the site of its exhibition, at the archaeological remains of The Hall of the Red Earl in Galway. It was discovered during excavations in the 1990s that the medieval structure was reused as a furnace for iron smelting in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
