Jason Hicklin | Project Cill Rialaig Revisited

The project began in 1991 to restore and rescue a small pre-famine village on Bolus Head at the end of the Inveragh peninsula in County Kerry, the very edge of Western Europe.

These cottages have become a retreat for artists and writers.

This is Jason's third residency at Cill Rialaig.

Re-visiting Cill Rialaig has resulted in new watercolours along with Fifteen etchings,editioned to ten with black and umber ink on soft white Somerset paper and a small edition of five printed with a mixture of opaque white and metallic silver onto black Colourmount Board,a combination partly inspired by the light of the full moon on Ballingskelligs Bay.
