Overview
A solo show of new work by Christopher Steenson using photography, sound and archival material. A centrepiece of the new exhibition is a new artwork titled Dragon’s Teeth (2026). Focusing on the Beaghmore complex of stone circles and alignments in Co. Tyrone, this new work grapples with attempts to interpret the past, and the follies of attempting to anticipate the future.
