BEAUTY: Painting and Mixed Media--Medrie MacPhee

Medrie MacPhee's 2020 series Dark Matter combines oil paint and salvaged scraps of clothing (resuced from 99 cent store bins and bargain basements), including seams, buttons, and zippers. She deconstructs the garments and lays out the pieces, assembling them into a composition. She then paints over the fabric, giving it an almost concrete-like appearance and the resulting abstract images are satisfyingly chunky and textural, referencing some sort of denim fantasia.
