Art: What Lies Beneath
Twenty One by Kevin McAleenan
Growing up in the 1960s, in a large housing estate in Banbridge, Co Down, Kevin McAleenan could see “the zig-zag roof of the old linen factory, long rolling fields and unending drumlins” from his front window.
During the 1970s, “the Troubles formed a background to life” and though the estate was mixed, “a rare thing in those days, we rarely felt the tensions of most other towns in the North. There was a sense of freedom to wander far and wide”.
