HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, USA<\/p>\n

John O’Donnell’s\u00a0art practice consists of installation, video, performance, print, and works on paper. He has exhibited in the U.S. and Korea.<\/p>\n

A portfolio of O’Donnell’s collages appears in\u00a0Issue One<\/a>\u00a0where Ariane Fairlie writes,<\/p>\n

\n

Many of O\u2019Donnell\u2019s collage works feature muted tones and a strange interplay between form and meaning. He uses collage as a means to investigate concepts of contemporary existence, addressing products offering a wide variety of features to consumers, for example, the mobile phone\/camera which can be used in a number of different ways. O\u2019Donnell believes that collage is an important metaphor for human cognitive experience.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
