    About the Book

    Edit

    Aphra L. Z. O’Connor engages with the shapes recorded in everyday life in a way that transforms and simplifies them into geometric outlines. There is a timelessness to the drawings which are reminiscent of 1960s design, but with a pulse of modernism. This is captured in the fleeting shadows and viewpoints of contemporary life and collaged together to create abstract forms. These surface geometric designs are translated into ambiguous sculptural objects as there is a spacial quality in them that creates a narrative around partitions and containment that evolves from the surface.

    About the Creator
    aphralupita
    Aphra L Z O'Connor
    London, UK

    A sculptor and space intervention artist who reorders the authorship within a space by contrasting pre owned antique objects, with her own sculpture, lino prints and textiles to create sets of ‘almost spaces’. These spaces reference the ideal home aspiration found in department stores and interior magazines, where recognisable home-like interiors are created to inspire commercialism. O’Connor’s sets seem like still life, which take on a surreal form when the objects displayed have ambiguous use. By collecting objects from varying eras, and applying them to these manufactured interior environments, she creates juxtaposition between the decade she lives in and the one she collects. The lino print pieces act as proposals for ‘almost sculpture’ that seem impossible to transcribe into 3d from the 2d geometric surface, and are framed within the surrounding ‘almost spaces’ as a form of decoration, when they are really the inspiration.
