Kenneth has long been captivated by the ancient fragments of ‘bog oak’ - semi-fossilised oak branches that have lain preserved in low-oxygen, acidic conditions for thousands of years. Unearthed from the peatlands that surround his studio and garden in the wilds of Connemara on the western coast of Ireland, these gnarled forms of wood shaped by time, pressure, and the still silence of the bog, continue to inspire Kenneth today. They are beautifully sculptural, full of vigour and movement and, seemingly, the strength of a living oak. Their dynamic nature has sat in a corner of Kenneth’s heart for decades and blossoms from time to time through his Bog Oak Series. Here, Kenneth transforms these sculptural forms into a powerful visual metaphor. The branches twist and bow like dancers mid-pose, evoking a forgotten ritual or ancestral ceremony. Their grace is haunting, their presence uncanny. For Kenneth, this is not a depiction of decay, but of transcendence. Through colour, texture and gesture, he breathes new life into forms that once lay hidden beneath the peat for centuries. The forms carry with them the weight of time, history, and myth, resurrected here with both reverence and imaginative force. In Danse, Kenneth reminds us that the land holds memory in its soil and that even the most ancient fragments can rise again, animated not only by imagination but by the enduring rhythms of nature itself.
