Graduating with a Master of Fine Art from Royal College of Art, permanent collections include Stirling university, PATHFOOT, Aberdeen Art Gallery and Pallant House Gallery and Museum. Most recently shortlisted for the Anna Lobner Dusseldorf award and awarded a scholarship for the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts Salzburg and the Bet Low Award. My practice is strongly influenced by my immediate surroundings. I use commonplace imagery to organise the pictorial space, using forms that occupy and give perspective within the substrate. I continue to explore the imagined and observed within architecture through the process of Layering, repetition, cut-outs, washout and transforming. The detail and form within architecture, intricate lines, structures and vast space are continually explored in my work. “Through “Found Materials” Rosalind Lawless explores how and when the artist arrives at the image. A clearing out of established practices and forms to enable an authentic interrogation of the creative process. Deconstructing the moment when fragments of environment, object and experience come together and resonate; become important. A process lawless describes as “making within the found.” Kate MacKay |
