Drawing on the allegory of American consciousness through the use of iconic characters, O’Connor’s work is derived from a combination of memory, fantasy, and pop culture. Her art exposes the complexities behind the thin public façades that we readily embrace. O'Connor creates many of her works by using collage; layering images, figures, and geometric shapes to create fun retellings of the American identity. This piece features a vintage showgirl, shooting out colorful hexagons from her hands, against a isolated and alien backdrop.
