DescriptionThis mysterious vision of a mountainside is created through layers of subtle colour and texture. Through skillful manipulation of ink he evokes a quiet mountain scene. There are echoes of Japanese art visible, and a sense of melancholy is evoked by an empty landscape. 'The juxtaposition of the magical and the mundane have long been an effective partnership in McCreary's quiet, exquisite prints'. John Graham, Graphic Studio Dublin, 2018.Inscriptionlower left: 14/50
