Stacey Boughrum McCarthy: Divide + Pile
Feb. 11th – March 8th
“My drawing practice explores the role that location, both public and private, has
on forming identity. I collapse and merge categories – from architecture, urban
planning to cartography in order to destabilize boundaries, and understand their
subverted narratives. I draw on abstraction and representation in order to bring
possibility to the margins between subject and location. The illusion, promise and
failure of the construct of the American domestic structure inform my process-
based mark making and color work, but the work is also largely organic and inquiry
based. I am always in struggle, performing and flirting with the margins between
myself, my location and all I cannot know.”
