Duncan McKay – Repleat 2

This piece is made by folding, stretching, and painting the canvas and has developed from ongoing material explorations in my creative practice, which sits somewhere between image-making in two dimensions and object-making in three dimensions.

I also see the work as a playful take on the illusionistic depiction of drapery in classical art and academic painting, and the development of geometric abstraction in twentieth-century art.
