Titles of works: The Plough and the Stars, The Global Embrace and The Ambidextrous Paradigm.
James Gorry, in the exhibition catalogue for `Robert Ballagh - Works from the Studio 1959-2006', describes these pieces as follows, "...Silicon Suite is a threefold meditation on the potentially destructive imbalance in Western Culture between science and creativity but also a reflection on Ireland's contribution to Technology and Art. The Ambidextrous Paradigm (Suite III), whose somewhat tongue-in-cheek title alludes to the so called opposition of functions in the left and right of the human brain, ingeniously and provocatively juxtaposes images such as Einstein's Head, a music sheet by Bach and a nuclear mushroom cloud seen at the end of a series of classical, Piranesian arches.
