Caroline Mcgregor

In a world saturated with technological noise and postmodern despair, how do we find refuge?

In my art practice my interest in the human condition translates into a 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, as urban dwellers, 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.

Using architectonic language I manipulate space using line, form, material and scale with the aim of creating work that answers the universal need for sanctuary and equilibrium. I construct installations, objects and drawings that imbue the geometry reflected around us with new meaning, and hope to provide a moment of calm in our increasingly busy world.
