achilhhengeThis afternoon on Achill Island, Co Mayo..

The installation of 30 12ft drawings of a young man by Roscommon-born artist Joe Caslin on each pillar of the Achillhenge monument

It marks the beginning of a series of large scale drawings placed around the country entitled Our Nation’s Sons.

Joe Caslin explains

As a nation we have pushed a significant number of our young men to the very edges of society and created within them feelings of neglect and apathy. It is now time to empower these young lads and give them a sense of belonging.

…A drawing has the power to go further than words. But a series of large-­‐scale drawings have the potential to resonate and disrupt the visual landscape of an island, town or city. It has the power to pull a passer-‐by from the mundane, the power to trend and the power to gain real social momentum. It will re-­‐establish respect for and showcase the capabilities of our nation’s sons.
