‘Life In Stone’

An instinct to search for available materials, to forage, to respond creatively to the environment and the resources at hand.

‘Belonging’

Creating a “now” that responds to the energies that are met.  Where actions create the future and past at the same.

The Art of Pat O’Connor

Pat grew up fishing with elders in a time when there were still workboats with sail. Seeing the world from the sea, the dawns, sunsets and starry skies developed an awareness of light and movement that is captured in his work.
Living on a island led to an instinct to search for available materials, to forage, to respond creatively to the environment and the resources at hand.
Pat has a deep interest in understanding Quantum Mechanics, and its effect on us as human beings.
His creative process begins wild and unplanned, but continues until there is a settled energy, safe and calm, balanced and pleasing.
