Abstract
A Cosmopolitan Cosmology
This is a collaborative arts project based on Sherkin Island, West Cork, Ireland. From June 21 2009 to Dec 21 2009 we used pinhole cameras to record solargraph images on the Island of Roaring Water Bay and its environs. Cameras were distributed among the Sherkin Diaspora, reaching far and wide to a community that is now dispersed, but still shares in the munificence of the sun. The work in progress is documented at http://sherkinisland.blogspot.com
The project is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland through the Artist in the Community scheme managed by Create in partnership with Sherkin Island Development Society
