Long Room Sculpture Commission Trinity College Dublin

Guy is delighted to have been selected amongst four artists for the Long Room Sculpture Commission at Trinity College Dublin. On February the 1st 2023, the sculptures were officially unveiled by former President Mary McAleese and are the first to be commissioned in more than a century to honour the highly significant achievements of four women, Ada Lovelace, Mary Wollstonecraft, Rosalind Franklin and Augusta Gregory, and the contribution they have made to collective knowledge and to human endeavour. There are currently 40 marble busts in this beautiful historic space, all of men. This is a first step to introducing sculptures of women and better representing diversity. The four women honoured were chosen from more than 500 nominations. Guy has chosen to produce that of Augusta Gregory, folklorist, dramatist and theatre-founder. You can watch a short film of the unveiling ceremony above.
