SILHOUETTES
From the lens of a perfumer, Silhouettes explores the olfactive nature of an artist's work—whether painting, sculpture, photo, film, music, or performance. Here perfumers, in a series of interviews, essays, art reviews, and artist profiles, translate the world of art into scent.

THE EXHIBITION
Presented at the 59th Venice Biennale's Pavilion of Ireland 2022, "Gather" explores how we pause, attend to, and gather around objects and spaces. O'Malley's sculptural works invite us to slow down and notice the subtle qualities of material presence.
