In fact, the few miles of coastline from Toe Head to Schull make up the totality of his Irish subject- matter. It is a geographical landscape of striking beauty, not simply in appearance, but in its history and culture that, over the course of the years he lived there, Crozier came to understand intimately. As Crozier himself wrote "…everything I paint is the result of what I have seen. I cannot paint topographical paintings. I have to know the place and its history and its customs…I want the painting to have a resonance that has as much to do with time as it has to do with appearance." The exact location of 'Yellow Strand- The Island' may be ambiguous but its intention is clear. Crozier has created an image of his inner life, a poetic conception of the world he found on his doorstep. William Crozier quoted in Eigse Carlow exhibition catalogue.
