Sinead Mc Cormick / Adrift
Adrift reflects on the histories of island mobility and everyday life. Focusing on the relationship between travel access and gender disparity, the work sought to create an open space for dialogue on island experiences of freedom, restriction, and exclusion. Taking discarded floorboards from an island house, a fully functioning raft was designed to stage discussions and interviews at different island coves, beaches, and docks around Sherkin Island and beyond. Through this process, construction techniques were shared, launch sites considered, weather and tides negotiated. Staging the raft as a heterotopic form, Adrift became a platform for the performance of allegorical actions with islanders and Island communities.
