“The title of this show “Alchemy”, continues my preoccupation with water (childhood memories of Sydney Harbour), natural history and how these experiences can transmute into magical visions. Italy’s Baroque water fountains and sculptures have been the catalyst for the subject matter of these paintings, i love to travel there when possible to draw and later transform these studies into paintings back in my St Kilda East studio.” Katherine Edwards McCubbin.

A face, ethereal and evocative, emerges from an atmospheric swirl of brush strokes. A flower blooms as a constellation in the foreground, and the sense of peering into both a microscope, and upon the entire surface of the planet, is blended in a playful interplay of  spots, marks and colour. Welcome to the alternate universe of Katherine Edwards McCubbin. A mid-career artist making her emphatic statement in her own very personal visual language.

Gestural mark-making of reduced colour and mythic apparitions are a product of a lifetime of dreaming and exploring the world of interiors, and the broader world of exteriors.
Within that exchange of enclosed spaces and the embrace of the physical world, she has found the ambiguities, and the suggestion of so much more.
