FRAMED PANELS - Beowulf
This piece was part of an An Droichead/The Bridge project which included commissioned original works of art inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry. It was called "Reflections of the Conquest"

One of the things that struck me about the Tapestry was its secular theme. Most artifacts from the medieval period reflect a religious sensibility. So when I went looking into the background of the Anglo-Saxons, I chose another secular theme - Beowulf. The artistic style of these panels is Viking: they are meant to mirror the essentially heroic morality that was the heritage of both the Normans and the Anglo-Saxons.
