Liffey Love is a public art project by artist Rhona Byrne commissioned by Dublin City Council in 2023. Rhona is collecting plastic waste from the River Liffey with Irish Nautical trust on the Liffey Sweeper and repurposing it into sheet material to create a social sculpture in the form of love seats placed on the North Campshires of the River in 2024. This will become a site for talks and events. Liffey Love is an art project that considers connection and what it means to love our city, rethink materials of everyday life and embrace sustainable circular practices to nurture a sense of collective civic engagement. This project is realised through the support of Dublin City Council Arts office and the artists team Paltech, Green Generation, Irish Nautical Trust, Billings Jackson Design and CME industrial.
