Letters from the Landscape
Rabbit Island sits just off Myross on the south coast of Cork, and I'd driven down early for the Atlantic Light project with a loose plan to work this stretch of coastline. Nothing specific in mind. The sun made one attempt to push through the cloud layer, low on the horizon, throwing a soft diffused glow across the water before being swallowed entirely. A few minutes of light, then nothing for the rest of the day.
But those few minutes were enough. The turquoise shallows over sand on the southern shore, the deeper teal where the reef drops away, the green plateau with its brown winter grass. That little circular glow of the sun fighting through cloud, reflected on the water. No drama, no big sky moment. All colour and texture and the remarkable shape of the island itself, with scattered rocks extending into the sea like it's slowly reaching outward.
This has become one of my favourite photographs I've ever made. It reminds me that the best work comes from just showing up when everything tells you not to bother!

Every print is made to order: printed, checked, signed, and packaged for you individually.
Every print is signed. Unframed and framed prints are signed and titled by hand on the white border beneath the photograph.
Archival inks on museum-grade materials. Unframed and framed prints are Giclée prints on cotton rag paper.
Prints are well-packaged, tracked and insured. If one arrives damaged, I'll replace it at no cost.
You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.
I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.
Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.
Yes, free. Send me a photograph of your wall. I'll send it back with the print hanging on it, at its true size and in the correct perspective. Start my free preview

I bought two of these beautiful pieces on Rabbit Island as gifts. The feedback I have had is amazing - these are absolutely gorgeous and very sentimental as the recipients have sailed to rabbit Island. Very happy with the communication throughout and Peter and his team even organised gift wrap and personal message - thank you so much and will definitely look to these again in the future.
