Digital design for 4 flags displayed in Port of Cork, June 2021.

Flags commissioned by Pluck Projects for Cork Midsummer Festival, June 2021. Location: Port of Cork, a site of imminent redevelopment. The artwork was inspired by the Shawlies, well known female traders in Cork whose heavy, black, weatherproof shawls gave them their name. The Shawlies would congregate at the city’s Dunscombe fountain, a civic structure that mysteriously disappeared and remains lost.
