TOM IRELAND-  (b.1984, Blackpool) is an artist living and working in Blackpool, UK.

Ireland’s practice spans a variety of media and is motivated by broad notions of space, distance and the things that fill it/them. He is interested in what these things are; their weight, agency and currency - physically, conceptually and ideologically - and the possibilities put forward through their interactions with one another and with an audience, and how they might operate within the wider world and culture in order shape our individual and collective understanding of the spaces around us.

alternatives to violence was begun in 2005 and completed in 2025. From 2015-17 Ireland’s work was represented by Object/A Gallery (Manchester). Located in the basement of the Friend Meeting House (Mount Street, Manchester) and accessible via a doorway located on Bootle Street, the gallery was listed amongst businesses and services including the Alternatives to Violence Project.
