Riprap 2 Louise Blyton McCagg is drawn to abstraction

McCagg is drawn to abstraction with its endless freedom

looking for the tension between the shape and the grid

” The scraping and sanding creates a variety of different textures and leads to the emergence of unexpected forms

but in different proportions

Riprap 2 Louise Blyton McCagg is drawn to abstractionThis fluid abstract work on paper is intuitively made with a coloured pencil and acrylic. The intersecting multi layered forms create richly worked surfaces that refer neither to narrative or image but develop out of the discourse and physicality of the painting process. They are influenced by the edge and the grid of the two dimensional picture plane and evoke the liminal space between sensation and memory.
