The solitary towerhouse at Kildavnet stands as a perfect example of a 16th-century Irish tower house. At the mouth of Achill Sound, it would have had a very strategic location, guarding the passage that connects Blacksod and Clew Bay. Wandering inside, I looked out the now partially ruined window and wondered did the great woman herself admire this view, which, from the angle I was viewing, is unlikely to have changed greatly over the centuries.

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.
