I want to be made out of love, I want to be made into life is a meditation on the stillness, comfort and intimacy associated with place. This exhibition reflects on McKay’s personal experiences of home – both as a conceptual framework and as a physical site of rejuvenation and material memory. Through a series of detailed figurative studies rendered in ink on raw canvas, this exhibition draws awareness to the subtle effects of light and shape on inanimate household objects and close friends to express the deeply textural and tangible connection to the feeling of home.
