I See You Seeing Me (Meeting the Female Gaze)
November 4 – December 22, 2021
Born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland in 1959, Stefana McClure lives and works in New York. Fragmentation, obliteration, and reconstruction of information characterize McClure’s work. Primarily working with the manipulation of text, McClure translates, transposes and decodes the synesthetic structure connecting text and image, unveiling a new reality. Most known for her Films on Paper series, she meticulously layers subtitles of films, creating an abstract landscape of color and text. McClure explores ideas of language, and translation, and how linguistics and sound can take on a physical form.
