A Sirius Bakery developed when Cobh’s local bakery closed in 2016. As a premise that drew inspiration from the positive values of literally role of "putting bread on the table" of locals, A Sirius Bakery has gathered together a range of domestic bread machines that were "panic-purchased" when word got out that the bakery was closing down. Over the term of the exhibition, A Sirius Bakery will produce a series of bespoke, artisan-created loaves with site-specific references relating to local themes, particular landscapes and specific people. The bread loaves reflect local landmarks and mountainous knolls. They are a celebration of meeting and speaking and sharing and breaking bread together, all re-established within the parameters of a contemporary art space. (Text by Patricia Hoffie)
