How a west Cork farm became a life-sized piece of art

Artist John Kelly and his wife Christina have turned their part of West Cork into a life-sized piece of art, says Marjorie Brennan.

I AM standing in a field in west Cork looking at a cow hanging upside down in a tree. The stunning sea view beyond and the blazing sun are probably helping but the cow is definitely bestowing a sense of enormous wellbeing. Before I am accused of revelling in animal cruelty, I should point out that the cow is square and made of bronze.
