Audition
16th June - 27th June 2009
Audition conjures up dark worlds whose inhabitants act out their parody in makeshift theatre. If her world is a stage, then O’Connor’s actors are burlesque.
Steph O’Connor is an Auckland based digital and photographic artist whose saturated imagery and gift for transforming her subjects make her pieces a pleasure to engage with. Enriched with drama and tension her work is delivered with elegance while still capturing a child-like curiosity.
Steph’s techniques are progressive in embracing digital enhancement. She is a photographic painter whose subject matter, though strangely familiar, is full of enigmatic imaginings.
