all fragments of stories without sub-titles. A falling jumper, with a non-regulation parachute, is about to receive a shocking experience. Boring public buildings are elevated by their concrete pillars, balustrades and friezes of horticultural fertility. The point of domestic life is probed and searched for by anxious people. The meaning of these works relies on projection. The real code is private to the artist. By keeping this edge of mystery, O’Connor lessens the graphic content of the work. Any artistry to be seen is in her use of a beguiling line.
