James Ireland

A Scenic View of Mountains Reflected in a Lake, 2010

This installation by James Ireland extends his interest in landscape, nature and artifice in a sequence of overlapping images, each of which is a different and unrelated picturesque view of nature. The interlocking series of images are reformed as a new whole to make a hybrid idealised landscape. It is spectacular in scale, almost realistic, but on closer inspection the differences in the images keep revealing themselves.
