For his final MFA exhibition, Connor explored the act of the bite to articulate a multifaceted conceptualisation of intimacy that has been the centre of his research on the MFA programme. The bite is physical, emotional, mundane, fleshy, violent, intimate and metaphorical. It is ever occuring and both personal and universal.

The show also articulated his fascination with the process of painting itself, unravelling its stages through the painting’s installation, most notably with the blue, oil primed walls.
