Brand new painting featuring in Eleanor Carlingford’s show – Chariots.
“When I was young and living in a fishing town in Northern Ireland, the fish boxes were sturdy, made of wood. Although they stank of fish, and you had to sit amongst the scrapings of fish scales, they were fine treasures for the boys of the town. Frequently washed up on the shore, they were scavenged with purpose and made into race carts.
Two fish boxes, one of top of the other formed the body of a wee wagon. Pram wheels were added. Also necessary was a rudimentary steering column. I wanted so badly to have one of my own, but I was a girl. It would never happen” – Eleanor Carlingford.
