Cathy McClure

Unearth

Sep 7 - Sep 30

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Cathy McClure to Traver Gallery for her first solo exhibition, Unearth. A self-proclaimed anti-disciplinarian, McClure works with materials and techniques in radically unconventional ways. With a strong background in metal design and propelled by a boundless curiosity, she explores materials, spaces, and processes that push the boundaries of what art can be. McClure’s enthusiastic approach toward inventive methodologies raises questions about what is considered valuable. Her sculptures and installations investigate the discrepancy between past perceptions of an imagined utopic techno-future and the realities of the world we now inhabit. Click here to read more.

  • About
    Cathy McClure

  • view profile

Cathy McClure is an anti-disciplinarian, choosing to work with materials and techniques in radically unconventional ways. With a strong background in metal design and propelled by a boundless curiosity, she explores materials, spaces, and processes that push the boundaries of what art can be. McClure’s enthusiastic approach toward inventive methodologies raises questions about what is considered valuable.

Her sculptures and installations investigate the discrepancy between past perceptions of an imagined utopic techno-future and the future we now inhabit. Often using toys as metaphors, McClure’s works highlight our societal penchant for instant gratification, over-production, and habitually excessive consumption, while simultaneously drawing upon a collective nostalgia for a past we’ve enthusiastically discarded.
