Sculpture to me is a way of questioning and expressing my inner worlds. This is the driving force behind my work.
I believe that art is a journey within and some times you find answers and some times its just an exploration of the self.
I would like people to view my work and learn more about themselves through self reflection and opening out their awareness. looking at the deep layers of comfort and discomfort we all carry within ourselves.

An exaggeration of the figure is a reccuring theme in John O`Connor’s work. Blending the physical with the emotional he explores the fabric of his own internal worlds. He approaches his work with an honest and open heart where he can share what he believes to be, `states of mind that are inherent in us all`. John demonstrates these universal states of mind and emotion with a visual dialogue we can all relate to, taking us on a journey to a place where familiarity and shared emotional expressions unite us. His works manage to reveal an intimate examination of our reflective self. His works are often personal, emotional and poetic.
John O`Connsells his work to private collectors throughout the world.
