Situated in Rossmore Forest Park and identified in a County Council Development Plan, is a Fairy Tree near Barnhill lake. So common all over the country are these lone trees in the middle of a field that forever remain untouched for fear of annoying the fairies. This belief, even in this modern age, is something that touches a deep-rooted chord, that perhaps we are not the only ones who inhabit our land. What struck me though, was the fact that this tree is on the Council document, noting that while it has no intrinsic heritage value, it would be “prudent” to leave alone. The “unsaid” told a multitude and I felt this particular Fairy Tree deserved a special place in this exhibition.

Art to me, is storytelling a means to visually capture the atmosphere and tell the tales behind our landscape or capture the essence of that person’s character.
