Heather McGill Mixes Materials, Color, Sculpture and Stitching in Her Constructions

HEATHER MCGILL


 
Taking in the increasingly complex sculptural works of McGill is a battle of contrasts. Surface and ground duke it out, with cool transparent plastic overlaid on a myriad of lush hand-painted color, intricate laser-cut patterns neatly pinned down by hand stitching. A swarm of cultural references, profound and playful, banter about. She brings a new kind of meditation on volume and void, a baroque vision in plastic.
