PROVENANCE:
Acquired from the artist by the present owner

There occurs a DIALOGUE between my paintings and the tribal sculptures which stand in our home alongside the pictures – they live very happily together. I feel they both embody a spiritual essence which is timeless and beyond cultures and history. .. I feel strongly that I am, as it were, TAPPING IN to the vast store of imagery which makes our artistic heritage from CAVE ART onwards- and of course- being of CELTIC origins one can discern a link with ancient NORDIC culture.
