Madeleine makes paintings that contemplate connections between place and human activity, belief and longing. Catherine’s Handstand observes a short moment in time, originally captured more than sixty years ago. Reproduced as a sequence of 48 consecutive oil paintings, the exhibition gently considers inherited memory, the human urge to capture an image, and painting as a devotional act.
