Djuna O’Neill works across text, digital mediums and mixed media sculpture. Her current work draws on themes of Irish folklore, modes of world building found in gaming environments and science fiction, and the hauntological as a tool for exhuming untold stories and building future imaginaries.

Djuna was awarded the warden’s prize at the Goldsmiths MA degree show for her installation Ní dóghann na cipíní a dtógtar ón gcrann atá ag fás ann, or The sticks taken from the tree that grows there do not burn (2022). Since then she has been commissioned to create a body of work for a solo exhibition The Ground is Kind, Black Butter (2023) at Flatland Projects, Bexhill-on-Sea, UK, supported by the De La Warr Pavilion. During the development of this commission Djuna received support from the Discovery Programme, Centre for Archaeology and Innovation Ireland, to repurpose archeological 3D data.

She has also participated in group shows, most recently OSTARA, St. Leonards UK, and collaborated with other artists to create audio visual works, taking part in sound art events.
