Mahali O’Hare

 

Mahali O’Hare’s work seems to bring random glimpses of the past; a shadow world built up layer upon layer. They also stop on the verge of revealing their secrets. She revisited the lost places of her childhood, and found a certain detachment. The places fail to fulfil the desire of return and remembrance.
‘She remembers feeling like a tourist on the edge of her own life. ‘
Marcia Farquhar

Mahali O'Hare was born in Exeter in 1968. She completed her BA at the University of the West of England in 1993. She has participated in group exhibitions both in the U.K and Germany. In 2005 LOT at Zoo Art Fair and again in 2007 Room represented her. Art Futures has shown her work each year from 2002 - 2007. In 2007 she was the first recipient of the Rootstein Hopkins Award, which commissioned a solo exhibition at Spike Island, Bristol accompanied by her first publication. She is a visiting lecturer at the University of Plymouth School of Art and Performance, Exeter.
