    The two boxed sets that form the core of Norman Ackroyd’s latest exhibition – 2014’s From Saltburn to Flamborough and this year’s Connemara – take as their subject two opposing ends of the British and Irish archipelago. The work of both draws upon the tension inherent to such terrain; these are liminal places belonging equally to land and sea, a landscape that is both solid and fiercely changeable, where the rich voice of history meets silence. Norman’s etchings strike an uncanny balance between these contradictory qualities, imbued with the spiritual traces of the monasteries that haunt both coastlines, whilst also registering the violence of the waves and cliff faces overrun with gannets which constitute them. 
     
    For this show, we are lucky to have watercolours from both Ireland and Yorkshire, which as well as being beautiful works in their own right, provide a fascinating insight into how Norman sees these landscapes and serve as a powerful demonstration of his ability to conjure atmosphere with the flick of a wrist.

    Ailsa Craig, 2023
  • After the Synod of Whitby, convened by Abbess Hilda in 664AD to determine the date of Easter, St. Colman and his entourage travelled 400 miles west to establish a monastery on the extreme Atlantic island of Inishbofin.


    At that time the east and west coasts of the British Isles were flourishing in scholarship, craftsmanship, art and communication. Scripture and metal workings have left us with a rich legacy of books, manuscripts and silver and gold vestments. 


    The site of St. Colman’s monastery survives on Inishbofin in a secluded vale in the heart of the island.
