Cork Exhibition

This was the first time Crazy Coffins had exhibited outside the UK.
The Cork Vision Centre Director, John X. Miller, described the event as "Definitely an exhibition with a difference; it's an eye-catching aesthetically pleasing artistic celebration of life with all its quirks, foibles and eccentricities." In recognition of Cork's Capital of Culture status, two specifically Cork-theme coffins were custom-designed. Made of cork, and cylindrical in shape one resembles a wine cork complete with corkscrew while the other entitled "Conrai na Chorcaigh" has been designed to appear as if it is emerging from a marsh as a homage to Cork city's origins.
The artist Jamie Ogilvie-Forbes was asked to record the Opening of the Exhibition on Jan 7th. 2003 in a series of watercolours
