The immensely tactile quality of O’Connell’s sculpture comes as no surprise to those familiar with her work: “My sculptures are like families of things; each sculpture is a distant relation of a previous one.” In 'Breadth Becomes Air', O’Connell re-interrogates her signature interests in a new body of work, making astute study of curvature and edges, always in contemplation of the physicality of the landscape which she is creating.
This catalogue features a number of the artist's latest works, as presented in the exhibition Eilis O'Connell: Breadth Becomes Air.
