Joe Moran became interested in art at an early age and began sculpting in 1970. He began showing his work at exhibitions around this time. The first sculpture was a crucifix made while working on Turlough Hill Power Station. This was made of washers, pieces of steel and welding rods. The cross attracted great criticism and controversy when placed on the altar of the site church. Moran's work since this time has tended to be more abstract. He uses materials such as bronze, steel, wax, clay, stone and polystyrene.
