This caught my eye on Facebook and is more than deserving of featuring here. As part of the upcoming Tall Ships Festival, there will be a cut-paper installation depicting Dublin’s quayside from the Four Courts to the Customs House. e 25 metre long installation will be viewable in the CHQ Building on the North Dock, and is the work of Maeve Clancy.
This image of the Ha’penny Bridge being prepared for the exhibition, taken from its event page on Facebook, is excellent and gives a good taster:

I’m looking forward to seeing how some buildings along the iconic quays are presented. The Four Courts and the Custom House for example, two of our iconic James Gandon buildings, are beautiful architectural achievements with tragic pasts.
