Collaborations
Islanders = When Darkness falls
A collaborative project created by Róisín de Buitléar
ISLANDERS is a cinematic light projection mapping project of over 50 global island artists working with glass.
This collaborative borderless artwork, straddles giant continents and powers, and encompasses wider world thinking by tiny singular actions. Collaborating with artists from Islands around the world the projection is created using original artworks created on miniature glass slides.
This unique artwork has been created as a collective act of solidarity within the glass community.
As a people ISLANDERS are intrinsically independent but at the same time dependent on the wider world. In bringing together Islanders for this project, a call is being made to wider Island communities to show how independence can be used to strengthen community not divide it.

The urban warrior
Róisin de Buitléar and Jeweller Tuula Harrington have collaborated to create the ‘Urban Warrior’ collection, which was launched in Designworks Studio, Cork.
Urban Warrior is an explorative collection that combines bone, glass and precious metals to create bold, powerful and contemporary forms. Tuula Harrington of Designworks, Cork is an accomplished goldsmith and silversmith of Finnish and Irish lineage. The Urban Warrior collection pays homage to the tradition of Irish jewellery making, from Viking to contemporary times, the collection reflects the diversity of Ireland’s cultural ancestry.
Urban Warrior prompts us to rekindle the cultural and historical significance of personal adornment and to see how form and material can denote the role of one’s tribe, one’s lineage, and one’s personal presence. The collection exhibits the craft and skill of two artists, moulding, shaping, and creating forms that honour the tradition of the jewellers craft with refined contemporary elegance.
