Notes


Ellie MacGarry’s work considers the self-conscious body on the brink of exposure; the inside and out, the clothing and unclothing - exploring the desperate desire to be seen and the even more desperate desire to be hidden.

From details of tender introspective moments, to imagined garments or protective coverings, the intimacy and the theatre of the everyday is foregrounded. Focusing on areas or moments which are ordinarily unseen, these fleeting private moments are often paused at a point of transition – shirt half-unbuttoned, haircut not yet complete, crumpled slept-in bedsheets.
