Blaine O’Donnell is an artist working primarily in sculpture.

Taking an experimental approach to the materials and debris of photography, architecture and geology, O’Donnell investigates the art object as a starting point for tracing networks of relationships between objects, humans and places. Contrasting materials are used in new ways, making space for material agency and chance.

In a time of increasing dematerialisation and alienation from natural rhythms and shared ecosystems, O'Donnell explores artistic practice as a method of engendering moments of connection and affinity, revelation and wonder.
