Kate MccGwire

published by Anomie | 2021

‘The new monograph features works spanning Kate MccGwire’s twenty year career to date, from fabric works created at the turn of the millennium to site-specific installations for a solo exhibition at Harewood House, Leeds, in 2020.

In the first essay commissioned for the publication, independent curator and writer Jane Neal explores themes of childhood and family, nature and the body, physics and metaphysics, opening up connections between MccGwire’s works and myths, legends and belief systems across time and cultures.

The second essay, by Dr Catriona McAra, explores MccGwire’s oeuvre in relation to the history of soft sculpture, abstraction and surrealism, especially with regard to feminist histories and to notions of counter-modernism.’
