Ohio Dominican presents art exhibit
The Wehrle Gallery at Ohio Dominican University will present Strataform, a new body of work by Chaz O’Neil, beginning with an opening reception from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26 and continuing through Saturday, Jan. 10.
Strataform is an exploration of pressure and time, both geological and symbolic. Inspired by the layered structures of minerals and the outward reach of spacebound signals such as Carl Sagan’s Voyager disk, O’Neil investigates how memory and material are encoded, transmitted, and transformed.
Referencing diagrams, strata and speculative futures, Strataform visualizes the invisible forces shaping planetary matter and human meaning alike.
O’Neil is a Columbus-based artist whose work explores the layering of memory, material and mapping. His practice has been supported by international residencies in Germany and Spain and his work has been featured in several solo exhibitions. He is the coordinator for individual artist programs at the Ohio Arts Council.
