Naomi Nadreau (they/she) is a sculptor working primarily with discarded man-made materials, ceramics, metals, and natural matter. Using the concept of estrangement in Science Fiction - making things familiar seem unfamiliar and the unfamiliar seem familiar - combined with acupuncture meridian lines in the body. Nadreau’s work highlights the slippage of reality. Nadreau reflects on their identity as an experience of being in a constant state of in-between and nowhere. They received their MFA in Visual Arts from University of California, San Diego and their MA from California State University Northridge. They have participated in exhibitions at Best Practice, San Diego; Espacio Negativo Gallery, Guadalajara; Pangee Gallery, Montreal; Phase Gallery, Los Angeles and co-curated at Vielmetter Greenhouse Gallery, Los Angeles.

He has exhibited throughout Asia, Europe and North America in various galleries and institutions, as well as in the Athens and Kyiv Biennials. McDonald grew up in Rancho Santa Fe, CA not far from the new Oolong Gallery space and finished his schooling at La Jolla Country Day.
