Silent Order

3 July – 7 August 2021

• Mary McFarlane

There’s a fleeting, watery quality in some new mirror works, others glittering with gold leaf and silver over oil paint, evoking the cascades of Fiordland, or the moon and planets in a midwinter night sky. Alongside major works are intimate miniatures: ‘I like the act of looking at small works – the peering, the bending forward, a precious quality, demanding time.’ Each bevelled edge or frame, from decades past, prompts personal memory, the viewer mirrored in the work.
