About The Artwork

A portrait of Pan, the last of the pagen gods. It is inspired by the chapter The Piper at the Gates of Dawn in the children's classic, Wind in the Willows, and by Arthur Machen's haunting novel The Great God Pan. The whole point of Pan is that he is unknowable, so how do you draw him? I approached Pan as an enigma—a supposedly modern, earthly man, but with a depth of sadness at the passing of his time. No one believes in him anymore, yet he still walks among us, a lonely man. It is a pencil drawing on Stonehenge paper with jagged edges on the top and bottom of the page.

I grew up in Ireland but have lived in Australia for more than 20 years. Fine art books were the picture books I leafed through as a child. My favourite artists were Durer, and all of the Dutch masters. As most of the reproductions were in black and white, in my formative years, I thought these fantastical images of saints and dragons and warriors were photographs from a more interesting world that no one had told me about. As an adult, I realised that I my pencil drawings were attempts to draw the denizens of this fantastical world I grew up with but I have still not found. In the early 1990's I received my best training in art when I worked as a street artist over three summers, doing caricatures for tourists in Spain. Drawing constantly for hours on end, day after day, honed my skills, and in my off times I drew the streets around me, or doodles from my imagination. I aim for ambiguity in my drawings—to keep the viewer guessing. What is going on? Is that person a friend or foe? Perhaps if they stare at it for long enough they'll find the answers.
