Linda Brunker, Irish b. 1966, `Foliose`, bronze, figure with foliage, PROVENANCE: Bought directly from the artist. Linda Brunker was born in Dublin in 1966. She studied at the National College of Art & Design between 1983-1988. She has done several large commissions including `The People`s Counsil`, City Hall, Laguna Beach 2006, `Signal`, commissioned by RTE in Dublin 1996 and many others. Her works are in various collections worldwide and she has had many solo and group exhibitions. She emigrated to the USA in 2005. At an early point in her career she began to develop what she terms an `open filigree` technique of casting in bronze, a practice which has set apart her style and which challenges the traditional concept of bronze figurative sculpture. Her sculptures are typically based on the human form and have a strong spiritual and ecological quality. Natural elements such as leaves, feathers or starfish feature in abundance in her work and are intricately woven together to give shape to elegant figures which are later cast in bronze. The first version of foliose is in the Allied Irish Bank collection. Her work has been in such demand in North America, that in 2007 she opened her own gallery in Los Angeles where her sculpture and drawings form part of an ongoing exhibition.

Naval manoeuvres, 1889, was the means of saving the lives of a boat`s crew, the boat having capsized in a squall off South Queensferry, and was overboard for nearly half-an-hour, in heavy sea, supportinga marine, who was fully dressed and unable to swim (vide Our Gazette, October and December, 1889; United Service Gazette, 16th November, 1889; and Admiralty and Horse Guards` Gazette, 23rd November, 1889) 1889-93 Experimental Gunner, "Excellent". 1893-95 "Royal Arthur", Pacific; Retired August 95. "Warrant Officers Annual. 1895". We have great pleasure in recording an act of bravery which took place under the following circumstances:- During the late naval manoeuvres Lieut. Commander C. F. Foley, of the gun-boat Spey, one of the vessels of G Squadron, had occasion, when the wind was blowing with a force which was logged at seven, to send his gig two miles away for despatches under the command of Mr. John S. Rice, gunner, and crew, taking with them as passenger a private of the Royal Marines. The gig, after proceeding a short way, was caught in a heavy squall and capsized. All the crew except the Marine were able to swim, and he would unquestionably have been drowned but for the gallant conduct of Mr. Rice and J. D. Simmonds, A. B., who at the peril of their own lives, relinquished hold of the upturned boat to which they were clinging, and swam towards the Marine and supported him between them for nearly half an hour in a very rough sea, until assistance arrived. The three men were picked up much exhausted after their long immersion, but soon recovered. We hope that this gallant act will not pass unrewarded, and, as we are informed that the circumstances have been reported to the commander of the G Squadron, that he will bring the gallant conduct of Mr. Rice and the seaman Simmonds under the notice of Admiralty. We trust also that the matter will be brought to the notice of the Royal Humane Society, as it seems to be the case clearly deserving their recognition. "United Services Gazette 16.11.89" The Spey`s Life-Saving Case Sir, - Your very plain-spoken paragraph in the last issue of your journal re the case of gallantry on the part of Mr. J.S. Rice, Gunner and J. Simmonds, A.B., has been read with much interest by your numerous naval readers. It seems incrediable in the present year of grace, with newspaper correspondents on every hand, that such humane and plucky conduct should have been so completely hushed up, or that in such a small craft as the Spey, where the exertions made by these two brave fellows must have been notorious, Lieut. Com. Foley should have failed to report the matter with the object of obtaining some recognition of the exertions of. the officer and man, who did honour to his command. Capt. Markham, however- whose character for fairness is well known- will doubtless act on your initiative, and cause some report to be made of the transaction. And as every officer and man in that ship - and others in company - have been anxiously watching to notice the reward, your article calling attention to the matter has given great satisfaction. - I am, &c., H.:23.11.89 - Admiralty and Horse Guards Gazette: Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports
