NADA New York 2023

o’neal’s centerpiece sculpture is one part gateway, one part monument. “LÉSKALYÉ A LADISTANS KOSMIK” (2022) is a work of the type o’neal understands as a data storage structure. Hand-sculpted, palm-sized abstract objects cast in white bronze are displayed on small steel shelves inset into the sides of a found resin pool ladder.

The works on view introduce the complex network of ideas, references, and methods underpinning o’neal’s practice. The generative thinking space around the work is structured through philosophies, operations, and metaphors derived from computing and mathematics.
