Several of you have asked us about the artist carrying the Swift in Cork featured in our Synapse 25, Swift, Ristretto: Everyday video. Her name is Mary Ann Peters and she's based in Seattle; her work ranges from studio pieces to public art projects and installations (she's currently working on a large glass art installation at the future Northgate light rail station.) Mary Ann's work can also be seen at the James Harris Gallery.
You can view Mary Ann's work on her website where there's also a great video interview.
