Taphouse Dublin Seasonal Signboards
The first of two illustrated signboards for Taphouse Dublin, ‘Memento Mori’ was commissioned as an adaptation from an existing illustration as the seasonal artwork for the October/November months, around Halloween/Samhain/Day of the Dead. The illustration adapts an iconic archaeological discovery of two intertwined skeletons, known as the Lovers of Valdero. The adorning details of blooming flowers and seasonal produce create an imagined grave of new life for the skeletons to rest.
Taphouse is a cozy neighborhood pub and restaurant in the south Dublin village of Ranelagh. Their seasonally changing signboard project commissions local artists to illustrate a bespoke design for the front of the restaurant, adding a dynamic and creative element to the visual environment of the main road.

Taphouse Farm-to-Table Spingtime Signboard
‘Farm to Table’ is an exploration of the food cycle from agricultural origins to the artistry of food preparation and enjoyment. Reflecting predominantly Irish produce, the 3-part piece depicts scenery of three main phases of food: agriculture and cultivation; cooking and preparation; and finally, the table - inspired directly by Taphouse’s own diverse dining and drinks menu.
