Seanie Barron

For decades, Seanie Barron has carved and shaped wood in a workshop at the rear of his house on Plunkett Road in Askeaton town. His creations, made with basic hand tools and an intuitive approach, are borne out of his understanding of nature and often-humorous interpretations of the environment around him. He roams around rural Limerick, looking for branches to shape into walking sticks that take on surreal forms. Many can be used as whistles, or incorporate found objects such as coins, nuts, bullets or animal bones. Driftwood morphs into talismanic sculptures who accompany him on his creative journey. Seanie Barron’s artworks can be seen at Freeney’s Fishing Tackle Shop on High Street, and all walking sticks are for sale.
