Armagh’s Greatest Secret of Post-2012 or So?

20150710_080957imageTurning Point by Brian Conally.

Somethings that really connect with me in Armagh are these two sculptures and what I assume is their connection to one another. One depicts the history of astronomy: a gold speckled orb with engravings of the science along the sculpture’s supports. The other orb, Turning Point, has holes scattered around it and what appear to be faint hieroglyphics. Three “shells ” of men are moving the orb up the stairs it rests on. I enjoy astronomy, orb things, and potential National Treasure – level mystery connections. I feel these two orbs are connected. I need to do a bit of research comparing the two closely, but I believe the holes in Turning Point are actually in the same spots as the stars in the astronomy orb. I feel like this could mean that when the stars extinguish–when we are at the end–we will all need to work together to overcome our troubles. But, if some sort of treasure beneath the city opens up if certain holes are pressed or something, I’d be down for being the Nicholas Cage of Armagh.
