Shannon O’Hara is a Meanjin-based artist making connections between embodiment and abstraction through textile materiality. Often using synthetic satin fabric as the support, the sensuous and corporeal surface is investigated as a catalyst for generating a personified and bodily engagement. Additionally, concerned with the art historical canon, O’Hara aims to investigate how the use and exploration of a decorative methodology may challenge lingering visual hierarchies of Formalist and Greenbergian abstraction.
