De-Creation VI Michael Warren Oak and Steel Ferrybank, Wexford De-creation VI (1987), over seven metres high, is sited beside the estuary at Ferrybank. The vertical oak beam drops from the sky absolutely straight, then kinks slightly, but is prevented from striking the ground by another beam, intersecting it at low angle. Adjoining, and almost touching, is a short vertical element, set at a slight angle. This supports the taller element.

Tulach a tSolais Michael Warren, in collaboration with Ronald Tallon, Architect Earth, Concrete, Granite and Oak Oulart Hill, Oulart, Enniscorthy This monument in Oulart is both a symbol and a commemoration of history, marking the bicentenary of the 1798 rebellion by the Irish against English rule. Placed at the top of rising ground, at the end of a long walk, the monument consists of a grassy mound bisected by a deep passage open to the sky.This is a double cube paved with granite slabs and split by the chasm of light. It is lined with concrete panels on which the pattern of bolt holes from the formwork is the only decoration, and split by the great chasm of light. Inside the chamber are two horizontal sculptures designed by Michael Warren, made of curving planes of 200 years old Irish oak placed according to the Golden Mean. In Tulach a’ tSolais Monument, the grave and abstract simplicity is powerful. As its character and appearance, the monument’s Irish name, Tulach a’tSolais, means “Mound of Light”.
