Gateway To Purgatory
Gateway To Purgatory
My original creations are an emotional version of a distinctly Irish question: how to cross the desert between our heroes and ourselves. In my recent paintings and expressions, I've explored the idea of being caught between who we thought we should become and what we in fact have become. We stare at the chasm between reality and fantasy, crossable only by imagination and sentimental longing. Through my eyes and music, I've sought to remake our past dreams into a more forgiving view of our present circumstances, while offering a glimpse of another world just beyond our reach.
