Inspiration behind the print...

The song  'Róisín Dubh’ is  reputed to have originated in the camps of Red Hugh O'Donnell. The 16th century song is based on based on an older love-lyric which referred to the poet's beloved rather than, as it is often used, a metaphor for Ireland.

 

A dramatic, wild print featuring black horses, thorny dark roses and a dreamscape of a ship sailing across the night sky.
