Four is pleased to present Archipeligo and Other Stories, an
exhibition of new work by Ciaran Walsh. Walsh's work plays with
imagined geographies and popular culture references to explore notions
of escapism, confinement and the sense that perfection is always
elsewhere.
The small scale representations of fictional places, architecture and
situations mediate between these imagined personal landscapes and
narratives, and a sensation of restraint experienced through the
physical and social facts of external reality. Through sculptural and
textual works that are often whimsical in tone, Walsh focuses on these
deviations from the navigation of daily life in a manner that is both
playful and despairing.
