SCULPTURE

»Your body, in relationship to a piece that was formed over millions of years — time compressed in stone, released in attention.«

Niamh O'Malley is an Irish artist whose sculptural practice works with glass, wood, steel, and stone—materials so familiar you can anticipate their touch, perceive their weight, immediately place them within your surroundings. For Ireland's Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale (2022), O'Malley presented Gather, an exhibition exploring how we pause, attend to, and gather around objects. This fragrance translates stone as material and metaphor—clear, spacious, mineral. Time compressed in geological form, released through attention

Niamh O’Malley’s artwork reveals a profound appreciation for the act of trying. Trying to catch a certain slant of light, trying to prove a pattern or uncover a composition, trying to fathom a mountain, trying to hold time still. Working with the moving image, mark making and sculptural materials such as glass and wood, O’Malley’s work attempts to contain and reflect the weight and wonder of the world in its becoming. It is the act of trying, in the face of predictable failure, that gives way to conviction and a sense of hope within the artist’s work. Full of reflection, both literal and metaphorical, filled with absence and framed by negative space, O’Malley’s work asserts something unstoppable about the human spirit, something that neither distance nor death can extinguish.
