About The Artwork
‘Aine’ came out of a trip to Britain, particularly Orkney and Edinburgh. Orkney is overflowing with ancient historical sites, some dating back more than 5000 years. At the National Museum of Scotland I was fortunate to catch a major touring exhibition called ‘Celts: Art & Identity’. It included towering stone figures, thousands of years old, which breathed an otherworldly sense of timeless wonder and mystery upon visitors like me to this very busy exhibition. I was struck by the surprisingly ‘modern’ and ‘abstract’ decorative style of many of the Iron age artefacts on show. I started thinking of solstices and equinoxes that divide the pagan calendar. Seasons are marked by astrological events that measure the longest day and night or the balance of light and darkness. This turned my mind to stories of Celtic gods and goddesses who embody light, mid-summer and fire. And out of this came ‘Aine’.
