BIOGRAPHY
Kelly O’Connor is a Dublin based visual artist working in video installation, photography, and drawing. In 2002, she completed a design course at D.I.T. where she worked in 3D forms and fabrics. She then studied in Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology, graduating from the BA Honours in Fine Art in 2006 with first class honours in video and sound.
She has exhibited nationally and Internationlly over the last number of years, including in Bangkok in a video show selected by PCP, Tulca in Galway, Eigse in Carlow, Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray, Weather Permitting in various locations around the country and a solo show at The Red Stables in Dublin.
O’Connor’s practice involves video, photography and drawing which are used separate to each other to develop individual areas within a project. She often uses the video camera as a tool of discovery, allowing it to create by chance and exploration. There is a touch of Romanticism in her photographs, capturing arbitrary arrangement and situations. The themes present throughout a lot of the work include games, loss, place and ritual.
She is also a member of the Art Collective Moxie Dublin.
