Cameron Harvey b. 1977

  • Cameron Harvey takes the midline in the human form as the starting point for her large paintings. Using her body parts to physically push paint around the unstretched canvases, pigment fades with randomness and a sense of the organic, though not losing a foundational commitment to bilateral symmetry as holds the human body. Once completed, Harvey drapes the canvas, compounding the illusionistic space her limbs generated, creating a visceral echo in the viewer’s own body.
