In Seán’s work, landscapes serve as metaphors for life and its dramas, whether in turmoil or at peace. Wide-open spaces are able to be contained by a few well placed lines, and emulate the constraints of the modern world, or a persons desire to contain and control their own immediate emotional environment. Blurring the boundaries between areas of light and dark can recall the sometimes difficult choices that are neither right nor wrong.
