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.
