We acquired this photograph by Hugh O’Conor last year, taken in Bray in 2014 while he was shooting the music video for ‘8 Good Reasons’.

On #nationalpoetryday2020, it seems appropriate to share this painting of #SeamusHeaney which I made during lockdown. Heaney’s words were a constant companion during those challenging days, and in reading them I felt urged to revisit my original drawings made in 2013... (1/2)
