Artist Statement
The inspiration for my work comes from ancient Irish megaliths, such as stone circles, which I create using bog oak. The way these structures are meticulously arranged in our landscape and their connection to celestial objects fascinates me. The symbolism of the Circle and the Sacred Irish Oak Tree are often referred to in our mythology.
The bog oak I use was alive in the Irish landscape during the construction of our great stone circles. My art is a reminder to us of the deep roots in our ancient history and its timeless wisdom that can still resonate with us today.
