Combining film, performance, sculpture, and installation, O’Daniel’s work is structured as a call-and-response between mediums. Cinema, performance, sound-dampening textiles, sculptures, mobiles, and large-scale installations foreground process, collaboration, and material. She collaborates with hearing, Deaf and Hard of Hearing composers, performers, athletes and musicians in order to highlight the loss or re-creation of information as it passes through various channels, and to build a visual, aural, and haptic vocabulary as a means to tell stories inspired by events that are both historic and quotidian.

Her projects, screenings, and performances have been included in Made in LA 2018, Hammer Museum; The Infinite Ear, The Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow; Performa, New York; Exchange Value, Los Angeles Nomadic Division; and Louder than Words, the Zuckerman Museum, Atlanta, GA. Solo exhibitions include The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha; Studio 13-16 project and screening at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Shulamit Nazarian, Los Angeles; Art In General, New York; Samuel Freeman Gallery, Los Angeles; Centre d’Art Contemporain Passerelle, Brest, France. She is a recipient of grants from Creative Capital, the Rema Hort Mann Foundation; Center for Cultural Innovation; California Community Foundation, and more. She will be included in the upcoming exhibition The Infinite Ear, CentroCentro, Madrid.
