• 1. The Marley Funeral by Rita Duffy, 1989,
  charcoal on paper
• At the funeral of IRA member Lawrence Marley,
  the RUC saturated the area and refused to allow
  the remains to leave the Marley home until the
  Irish tricolour was removed from the coffin
• 2. Martyr If you were to lick my heart, by
  Graham Gingles, 1990, mixed media box

  but not mute. They contain objects made from
  wood, glass, lead, slate, plaster, cardboard and
  paint. There are no obvious symbols or
  representations of the social, political or
  tribal grievances that have affected the province
  so deeply, but held in them is the knowledge of
  what it is to harbour memories through the
  troubles.
