Artist Statement
Painting the world red may well be the way the Milesians saw the Skelligs or the bay of Ballinskelligs when the Blood Moon burns water and rock red. This “other world” I set out to capture on my most recent trip to South West Kerry.

And reading Sean O’Conaill’s Tales of Iveragh, the folk tales and stories taken from him by Prof Seamus DeLargy from UCD and translated into English, I was further inspired by the colourful language used to describe the accidental and amazing change of light that surely is Nature’s creativity.
