The four site-specific murals documented here were installed over two years. All four were painted and one was per-formative. Hotel Room was installed at the former Guys Building (now TK Maxx) on Cornmarket Street for the Cork Midsummer Festival 2000, while Same Difference was installed for the Crawford Open 2 in 2002. They are based on historical paintings by Roy Lichtenstein, Rene Magritte and Henri Fantin-Latour, and were about a reinterpretation of painting.
