Specifically created for the off site programme Gallery 3, Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin; Pursuit of Happiness arranged materials drawn from the reference and lending library at The Pearce Street Library. These materials were processed according to a structure based loosely upon an analysis of borrowing trends and movements of users and workers who pass through various spaces in the building. This was then mapped onto an arbitrary colour field that referenced the book jackets and the immediate locale. This work could then be taken away by viewers, one page at a time.
