About Nancy McTague-Stock
New York, USA Paintings, Works on Paper, New Media, Photography
From the immediate, visceral response of my observations of nature, I recognize and use natural imagery as fragments of aesthetic intrigue, extracting components for intellectual mind play, while remaining protective of the meditative and restorative qualities of the environment as an environmentalist. Expectations of immediate recognition are modified as perception is seemingly disarmed. Fractals of realism and abstraction produce images of other worldliness, offering an unexpected perception of the landscape. Utilizing a myriad of media inclusive of painting, printmaking, photography and film, I retrace my journeys through unexpected juxtapositions, pattern, light and nuances of the tamed and untamed.
