Fir Bhréige

'Fir Bhréige', 450 x 380mm Four-colour screen print. Inspired by the Calanais Standing Stones in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. These stones are 5,000 years old, and no one knows for sure what they were used for. Locals in the 17th Century were documented saying that they were called 'fir bhréige' (meaning 'false men' in Gaelic) as they were once giants who were petrified for not converting to Christianity. As well as this, locals said that it was a 'place appointed for worship in the time of heathenism'. This print depicts what might, or might not have once happened.
