Belfast Bap Sculpture

The Belfast Bap is a light, airy fluffy bread with a crisp crust. One loaf, two halves, pushed together, existing side by side, just like the communities of the Belfast that I grew up in. The soft, nourishing body of the Belfast Bap is replaced by two hardened, spikey, opposite halves, that have to live and work together. The creator of the Belfast Bap was an opponent of sectarianism, an industrial reformer and a man who sought justice and equality for all citizens. Belfast’s rich industrial heritage is represented by the titanium glaze and vulcanized rubber seal. Handbuilt two piece sculpture, formed in white clay, glaze decoration to outside, vulcanized rubber filling
