There's a newly published essay on Sean's work by Mic Moroney here

' Irelantis' is the theme and collective title of a body of paper collages first made by Irish artist Seán Hillen between 1994 and '98.
Since 2005 Seán has made some new Irelantis works.

Using a scalpel and glue and sometimes a microscope, Seán mixed fragments of postcards and other 'found materials' in elaborate compositions to create a fantastic but seemingly possible Other place, where The Pyramids nestle in Carlingford Lough, John Hinde's freckled-faced children collect meteorites outside the Observatory at Knowth, and Newry Gagarin, the celebrated cosmonaut, hovers over the Dublin streets.

Seán Hillen:
Seán Hillen was born in 1961 in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland, and studied at the Belfast College of Art, the London College of Printing and the Slade School, London. He now lives and works in Dublin.

In 1998 Irelantis Ltd. was formed by Seán Hillen and lawyer Linda Scales to protect and develop the intellectual property in 'IRELANTIS'. They were joined in 1999 by stage director Miriam Duffy and designer / artist Clare O'Hagan. The company then published a book, designed by Clare, of the Irelantis collages.
The book is presently and temporarily out of print.
