Magnus Modus, a large scale, seven metre tall, free-form sculpture made of multiple layers of laminated olive ash wood that is on permanent collection in the new Courtyard in the refurbished National Gallery of Ireland. The latest addition to the Magnus Series, a series that challenges the perception that function demands an explicit use, Magnus Modus is commissioned by the Office of Public Works (OPW) on behalf of the National Gallery of Ireland under the Per Cent for Art Scheme, as a result of winning an OPW-initiated by invitation competition.
