Sanctuary

Oil on Board

h: 46 w: 36 d: 2 (cms).

Sanctuary / Vulnerability / Love / Support / Courage all wrapped up in an emotional tangle too overlapping to rightly separate, Phoebe as a portrait just peaks into that welter of emotions. Thought not the only figure, it is unquestionably her alone that we're interacting with. Peaking from the safety of her father's arms, she looks out through her hair and sees us / you. The riot of external textures and colors and patterns finds a window of calm and connection out through her attention. There are not answers, or the reassurance of a conclusion - just a moment of connection and empathy with a complicated experience of anxiety and support, both emotional and physical.

Self Portrait in Pink

by Mary McClure

Oil on Canvas

h: 71 w: 60 d: 5 (cms).

A self-portrait which is a departure from my usual practice, and an exploration of how things like texture can stand in for value, and how little a shape needs to be legible. Starting from strategically sanded/roughened gesso, it is painted in an incredibly high key with almost entirely a 3 color restricted palette
