Synopsis
Standing 14m tall in an open plaza at the National College of Ireland, NC Iris is a triumph of art and engineering. This book documents the construction of Vivienne Roche’s sculpture from the earliest concept sketches to its official unveiling, with artist’s drawings and stunning photography. This remarkable sculpture defines not only its space; it insists on place. This is the type of effort required also to change people’s ideas about the use of a place, and its relation to where it really is. The quality of the object is as much related to the depth of human input, visible in its every sinew and fold, as it is to the object’s sheer existence.
