About
Ellie MacGarry makes paintings which consider connection, distance, gesture and touch. Using repeated motifs, most notably the hand, her work explores the way we communicate with our bodies as much as we communicate with words. While paint will always fix an image in a moment, Ellie is particularly drawn to transitory moments - a window letting the light in in the morning, a shirt half open, two hands on the cusp of meeting.
