The project ‘All stars stand close in summer air ' documents O’Connor’s return home to Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in five years. The colours blur a mélange of family, nature, and old haunts where things no longer look or feel the same. There is an uncanny newness to the familiar, a place haloed and awash with ochres and greens. The images take us on a journey of return; one of heat and dizziness, coupled with warm womb-like memory.
