Maritime, the new exhibition at Triskel Sample Project Space on Tobin Street, Cork, is a celebration of the rugged coastlines of Brittany and Co Cork. It features the work of four artists, Caroline Boyfield, who lives in Finistère; Laure Colomer, from Morlaix; Ida Mitrani, who is based in Ardgroom on the Beara peninsula; and Rebecca Bradley, who is settled in Fermoy.

Boyfield, who initiated the project, moved to Brittany from the UK in 2018. “My father is Scottish English, but my mother is Breton,” she explains. “They’ve lived in Brittany for ages. I decided to leave England after Brexit, having lived there for forty years. I’ve never regretted it; Brittany is very rich in culture, and there are plenty of artists around.”
