Resort: 1. To have recourse. 2. A place frequented by people for relaxation and recreation. Both definitions of resort apply to this exhibition. Collage and mixed media works framed on the wall will compliment the creation of a site-specific cave like geodesic dome.
“In collage, works on paper, and installation-based work, O’Connor’s familiar subjects undergo surreal, psychedelic, hypnotic, and other unsettling transformations.”
–Rene Barilleaux, Chief Curator, The McNay Art Museum
Drawing on the allegory of American consciousness through the use of iconic characters, O’Connor’s work is derived from a combination of memory, fantasy, and pop culture. The mythological characters, built around enduring western cultural ideals, permeate her subconscious. Her art exposes complexities behind the thin public façades that we readily embrace.
