DescriptionThis mixed media piece is part of a series of works in a variety of media that form part of Michael Farrell's acerbic visual commentary on political events occurring in Northern Ireland. He saw the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings as marking a pivotal shift from objectivity to subjectivity in his work. This work, which relates to the print 'Protestant Occulte' , is a direct response to the 1974 terrorist attack. Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s Farrell's work in all media addressed the bloody, intractable nature of contemporary Ireland.
