The achingly cool lovechild of Brooklynites and Irish innovators, COVE’s third issue unpacks the thought-provoking theme of “Alien”; its features bursting-at-the-seams with all manner of outsiders/expatriates, including, in part, the contributors themselves. Commissioned by editor-in-chief Geri Dempsey, I interviewed Sophie Murphy (Taproot Art Auctions) and Aoife Dunne (multidisciplinary artist) for the issue, swiping the role of features editor in the process.
