Bog Cottage
Bog Cottage is an artist collective originally conceived as a formalised response to art-making in the west of Ireland. Born from a yearning for queer community and spaces, Bog Cottage first started as friends hanging out making clay, friends doing DIY and opening a queer cafe. Bog Cottage is a response to the question of where do we go for a drink? Where do we go to make out and dance? Where do the queers go?
Faery Fort, 2023
An installation and a place of respite to be enveloped by its softness and protection. A mobile with ceramic charms encircles the room, a curtain of flora dangling in the air. Inside this charmed territory tufted rugs snake along the floor; chains of wool inviting your touch. Two benches are at the heart of the room - an invitation to rest, and invitation to take time. The faery fortress is a space to meet, to sit, a reprieve from life outside the curtains.
Includes a sound piece by Renn Miano, entitled Red Lentil and poetry by Ainslie Templeton.
