Site specific sculpture, Colour print on PVC scaffolding mesh, 20ft x 20ft, partially obfuscating Rudkins Mill, Muine Bheag, Co. Carlow.

A giant coin bears the textual inaccuracies associated with counterfeit paraphernalia while also decorated with the Eurion constellation, a mark present on currency preventing modification and replication with image editing software.

Rudkins Mill is presented as a monument with conflicting categorisations¹ and divergent types of significance to attributed to it. All of which give it its distinct character in time and place, much like a counterfeit coin.
