Kate Mckay : Elsewhere

Kate McKay Elsewhere 25 Feb – 21 March 2015

Elsewhere Jan Manton Art is pleased to introduce Kate McKay as guest artist to the gallery.

Having completed her studies in 2013 with a Bachelor of Fine Art with First Class Honours at Griffith University, Kate McKay had a full year in 2014 with selection in ‘Test Pattern’ at Ryan Renshaw Gallery, an exhibition at The Hold Artspace and was a finalist in the Churchie National Emerging Art Prize at Griffith University Art Gallery.

Elsewhere carries on from Kate’s most recent exhibition at The Hold Artspace. In an accompany essay Eileen Abood notes, ‘McKay’s compositions are spiritual and surreal inner worlds where we can escape civilisation via the myth of an untouched and vast wilderness. These are spaces of fluid emotional and psychological connections that invite the viewer to imagine themselves as the sole figure sometimes featured amid a wide and desolate landscape. In this region the viewer is free of their surroundings and in an immense space of possibility.’

(The View from Here, Eileen Abood, 2014).
