Redemption - Caroline McGregor
In a world saturated with technological noise and Post- Modern despair, how do we find refuge? In my art practice my interest in the human condition translates into concern with how the figure engages emotionally with space, line and architectural form. Intentionally utilising a formal simplicity in order to generate a sense of quiet, my work attempts to address the way we converse with the geometry of space we find ourselves in, and acts as an invitation to the viewer to explore these visual and architectural pulls via a concentrated, meditative, aesthetic experience.
Bio: Caroline McGregor was seduced by the practice of sculpture whilst studying at the National Art School in Darlinghurst where she completed her MFA in 2017. Influenced by the insistent materiality of the minimalist sculptors, and the formal, aesthetic considerations of the modernists, she creates steel sculptures that speak of both the expressiveness and composure of geometry whilst intentionally referencing architecture and the act of construction. McGregor was awarded the Olympic Park Residency Prize for Sculpture in 2015. She has participated in residencies, both in Australia and overseas to enhance her professional development.
