This body of work by David Page is part of an exhibition titled 'Our Land' which launches in Canvas Galleries September 26th 2024.

Alice Milligan's two-part poem 'On the Cliff' with its lovely
written and visual shift mid poem of ocean at sea level,
'roaring', to as heard on the upper slopes, its 'murmur',
inspired this personal memory of the Fair Head. This
diptych, in the spirit of the poem, juxtaposes in the first
canvas the 'noise' of thick splattered, squelching, torn,
bruised and battered paint with the scraped thin
surfaces and spread residues of the second canvas.
