Study after the Magazine Wall

oil on canvas, 2012, 22.5"w x 23.5"h x 1.5"d

This painting is from a series based on James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. The wall depicted in the painting belongs to the magazine fort in Phoenix Park, Dublin. The park is the Eden-like location where a mysterious sin takes place. The star-shaped fort, the Wellington Monument and a pub in nearby Chapelizod are the iconic settings for Joyce’s great novel of the night.
