I S L A N D S
"The islands in my paintings are not invented — they come from sustained looking at specific water and specific light over many decades. But they are not documentary either. My islands are always partly internal — the place the mind moves toward when the world becomes too much, the fixed point by which we navigate when everything around us is in motion. Every culture that has lived near the sea has
understood the island as a form of spiritual geography."
Michael Francis Reagan
