Suite 315
Little Ireland
“…Representations of the natural wonders of Ireland. After discovering these wonders while touring around Ireland this summer it struck me how challenging it would be to recreate them in snow and ice. I have chosen to recreate, upon entering the suite, ’The Gap of Dunloe’. In the main area is ‘The Poulnab-rone Dolmen’ before progressing up the ‘Giants Causeway’ steps to the ‘New Grange Passage Grave’ where the sleeping area is located.

Some of these stone structures and formations are over 5000 years old (as old as the pyramids) there-fore I think it is a nice contrast that the snow and ice representations will have such a short lifespan.”
