Royal Ulster Academy of Arts 140th Exhibition

Delighted to say this piece has been selected for the annual exhibition from the 29th October 2021 at the Ulster Museum.

The ‘highlands’ of Northern Ireland ring and feed the saucer bowl of Lough Neagh. From rocky outcrops to heath and peat smothered slopes they have a dramatic and strange poignant quality being home to a wide variety of species and fauna, constantly in a flux of colour shifts as the seasons change.

But these upland landscapes are under ever greater threat as they are seen as the natural ‘acceptable’ place to locate wind turbines and mine for resources. This work tries to capture that raw beauty in a quiet protest to leave them alone.
