The small art critic standing nearby will give you an idea of the size of the piece, the vibrant colours and textures obviously hitting aContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Setanta Wall, Dublin”

Wednesday Wander – Haiti

This is a photograph of a ruined brothel on the shores of a pristine bay in Haiti, which comprises the western half of the island of Hispaniola. I visited Haiti briefly nearly thirty years ago and, I have to be honest, had a fairly sanitised experience in my short time there. Nonetheless, I was struckContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Haiti”
