James Ireland fabricates sculptural objects and
installations using everyday items of household
furniture and hardware, juxtaposed with landscape
images culled from magazines, picture books and
tourist guides.
At times this combination creates an
allusive and wistful scene which seems to offer escape
to the faraway through the familiar, at times it
frustrates this promise with an awareness of the
fragility of its own illusion. His work draws as much
on historical modes of landscape painting and the
sublime as it engages contemporary sculptural practice
and appropriation.
For this exhibition Ireland will make a series of
distinct installations and sculptural objects, which
together articulate the gallery space and reveal the
scope of his practice.
While some new works continue
his interest in contrived and choreographed illusion,
others refer to similar visual sleights of hand
through more direct manipulations.
