Glasshouse | Niamh O’Malley at John Hansard Gallery Online
John Hansard Gallery continues our online video commissions programme with Dublin-based artist Niamh O’Malley’s film, Glasshouse, available to stream via our website from today for the month of July.
Glasshouse is an intimate study of landscape, light and glass that was originally created during a residency in Denmark, after O’Malley happened upon a row of old greenhouses. From inside of the greenhouses, the camera pans across discoloured and broken panes of glass, looking through to wild grasses and overgrown weeds beyond. Sunlight spills onto the surfaces to reveal the layers of dirt and the effects of time.
Glasshouse was originally made as a two screen video installation, and has been especially reformatted for John Hansard Gallery’s new digital programme.
