As you scan the lower slopes of the northeast Antrim Hills, you cannot
help but be captivated by the enchanting tapestry of field and fence
lines. The darker tones in this painting reflect John Hewitt’s cautionary
reflections on his public life, far from ‘this rim of arable that ends in
foam.’ He wisely observes:
‘…so many fences stretch between our minds.’
