Only when the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked’. Warren Buffett
Curators Nora Hickey and Eilis Lavelle of Mermaid Arts Centre invited 25 contemporary Irish- based artists to consider and respond to Buffett’s metaphorical citation.

This work was first shown in Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray from December 2 2010 to February 12 2011 and continues to tour to a small number of venues including the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge and the Garter Lane Arts Centre in Waterford.
