The flotsam and jetsam of the artistic life

The stunning natural beauty of the Beara peninsula, in Co Cork, has served as a muse to countless artists. For visual artist, Bénédicte Coleman, it was the threat to that precious seascape which inspired her to create her latest work, the Beach Storage Project.
The work is part of the Beara Arts Festival; participants will collect debris along the shore, before sorting it into metal units at beaches along the coast.
