The Dog Project: 120 playful papier-mâché pooches let loose in County Cork

The playful canines were placed on Kinsale's beach, around local places of interest and brought together in various forms – all of which the public were encouraged to participate and play with. As you can imagine, the installation was incredibly popular with families and children – making art accessible to everyone.

Originally from the town of Dumfries in Scotland, Tom has been based in Cork since 2001. He works in a fairly free and spontaneous manner and loves to paint, sculpt, sing, perform, and do anything creative. He explains: "I believe that art is not a luxury item but a necessity for society, art is for all."
