Origins marked a pivotal moment in O’Hara’s evolving practice, bringing together a body of paintings and drawings that delve into the timeless and the elemental. Through a process of meticulous layering, O’Hara constructs surfaces that feel both excavated and emergent—works that seem to hold memory, duration, and transformation within their very material.

At the heart of the exhibition is a vision of the earth as it was forming—primordial, unsettled, and alive with possibility. The works suggest a deep, almost instinctual remembrance of origin, where matter coalesces, shifts, and evolves across vast spans of time.

Each piece unfolds as a quiet meditation on eternity, where repetition becomes variation, and gesture accumulates into something both intimate and expansive. In Origins, O’Hara invites viewers into a contemplative space—one that bridges the physical and the metaphysical—where the act of looking becomes an experience of time itself.
