Author Description

"This book brings together for the first time Sean Scully's images of the walls of Aran, revealing the unexpected yet monumental beauty of these centuries-old structures that meander across the austere and exposed landscape. In form and spirit, the photographs of the walls, with their horizontal and vertical shards of limestone, shed light on Scully's own sensibilities as an artist, revealing a creative process expressed through abstract shapes yet rooted in the material world. They also capture the stillness and serenity of this rugged, timeless place on the edge of Europe."--Jacket.
