Description:
Inspired by the landscape visible from the artist's studio on the shores of Lower Loch Erne and referring to the ancient ruins of Inishmacsaint found on a nearby island. Two concentric circles direct the eye to the inner space which is devoid of imagery save the criss-cross affect of the brushwork. The outside of the circle is composed of numerous lines that evoke a celtic-like image. The final work, whilst abstract, is nevertheless evocative of 'place' and reflects the moodiness and soft light of the area.
