The event has passed.
The Blue Afar: Amanda McCavour
January 26 – March 24, 2024
Artist Amanda McCavour uses thread to create sublime installations of embroidered objects in space. Her fantastical, dreamlike environments consider the play of light on matter and the peculiarities of the natural world. In Far Away Blue Fields, McCavour permeates our visual field with a cloudburst of blooming flowers hung from the gallery’s ceiling by tiny thread. Affixed to the wall, The Horizon, the Ocean, the Sky features a gathering of leaves, weeds, birds, and bees that read like an immense biological archive. Both installations speculate on the colour blue. Not only is our physical environment composed of blue things like water, gemstones, minerals, and flora but blue is also associated with the textures of the human
condition. In McCavour’s work, it is used to express the infinitesimal breadth of our emotions and shapes our relationship to the earth and sky above.
