Every Equinox the sun enters the chamber of 5,500 year old Cairn T at Loughcrew. This sacred place is associated with the ancient sovereignty Goddess, the Caileach who is also remembered in its name, Sliabh na Caillí, mountain of the Caileach. Here, I picture her manifesting in the light of that dawn, while in the foreground we see her Chair, from where it is said she gazed upon her landscape.

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.
