Of this work Gillespie wrote,

While working on the Famine sculpture for Dublin, of course my mind often turned to considering what would be the fate of this bedraggled group - how many of them would even survive the crossing? I became fascinated by the fact that, in spite of ill health, so many women became pregnant during the long months at sea. This concept of the new life in a new land became the initial inspiration for the Arrival series; a pregnant woman. . . .

My post on his Famine Memorial is here. More at the artist's web site.
