'The book is self-contained and pleasing as a piece of work in itself. It sticks to the point' - Irish Times

'Successfully conveys the special magic of those far western parts and of the encounter between man and stone and the elements' - Books ireland

Sean Scully is one of today’s best-loved abstract painters. His familiar signature style of lines or bands of colour, alluding to architectural elements such as portals, windows and walls, is one of the most instantly recognizable in contemporary painting. This book brings together for the first time his photographs of the dry stone walls found on the Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland.
