Description
The Hawthorn tree holds a special place in Celtic lore. It is said the fairies had a special affinity for the Hawthorn which was one of the Three Sacred Trees, along with Oak & Ash.
The practice of tying pieces of cloth to a wish tree is often associated with nearby clootie wells, as they are known in Scotland and Ireland, or "clout" or "cloughtie" in Cornwall. This tree had a sacred well nearby and the tie round the tree helped us to located St Finians holy well in Kenmare.
This piece and all other works in the galleries represent Art with a global flair.
Its an eclectic mixture of styles and topics, influenced by a variety of world cultures. When we surround ourselves with artwork our lives are enriched.
