Aran 2005

"Aran" is a 2005 black and white photograph by Sean Scully (b.1945). The artwork depicts a close-up of a stone wall, with its rough texture and irregular shapes. The wall is divided into two sections by a vertical seam, highlighting the difference in the way the stones are arranged. Scully's work often draws inspiration from the natural world, and this piece exemplifies his use of simple, yet powerful imagery to evoke a sense of place and time.
