MFA thesis exhibition
Claire McNamara’s MFA thesis exhibition “marshmallow icicle icicle” offers a playful collection of oil paintings. The show's title references the three movements within a triplet, as used to explain to young dancers as a way to visualize the softness in steps. In this exhibition, McNamara explores whether such movement can be replicated through painting, and whether it can cultivate a grounding and non-grounding space to exist in. Through nostalgia and ballet imagery, her paintings centres both a psychological exploration of temporality and associations of girlhood.
