**Joel Elgin, Caolite's Rabble: 4 Woodpeckers From White Brosna, 2009, Etching, 24" x 18" Caolite's Rabble: A Fianna warrior named Caolite set out to avenge the capture of his master Finn, Son of Cumhal by the King at Teamhair (Tara). The King promises the release of Finn as soon as Caolite has brought to the King a couple of all the wild creatures of Ireland. Caolite completes the astonishing request without magical help from gods or goddesses or fairies. He starts with the flocks of birds, and gathers up all the creatures for the sake of his master. These birds are from his extensive collection. (Gregory,129. 11.) |

Artist Statement
The rich history of my Irish roots drives me to explore the numerous myths, mysteries and truths that exist in the forms of text and image. To know my past I have traveled six times to Ireland and each time been lost in the mist that exists between myth and truth. Most recently I have fallen under the influence of Ireland’s most ancient sites. Through the generosity of the Irish Government I was allowed to enter passage tombs built over five thousand year ago. As I crawled underground through the narrow decorated tunnels, I was struck by the brilliance of the people who created these sacred spaces. In candlelight I ran my fingers over the beautifully carved stone and found myself enchanted by the magic of their mysterious message. The prints I make are a reflection of the deep respect I hold for the ancient Irish: for their creation myths/truths, for their gods and heroes and for the powerful gifts they have left us. |

Artist Statement As someone whose artistic expression is firmly based in drawing, I find that printmaking, especially intaglio, provides me with the widest range of tools for my needs. I can be precise and controlled in my etchings and mezzotints, concentrating on the graphic quality of these techniques. Or in contrast, and to compliment this, the monotypes are more fluid, allowing the brushwork and color to define the image.

Artist Statement Life is a very interesting journey. My art is about telling stories some myths others metaphors from living. There are animals as well as sometimes people to talk about. Balance in nature and the fragility of life are ever present. There is always a perpetual struggle for survival and need to adapt |
