Residence Project

Primarily using ink and intaglio, Sorcha Mackenzie captures fragments of her one-month residency in Tokyo, exploring Kanda and surrounding areas. The smaller of these "fragments" become a component of understanding, often coalesced and displaced within one another to form large, surreal landscapes. These mysterious scenes often function as cabinets of curiosity; a visual culmination of the artist's experiences. Dimensions seem to ooze over into one another, becoming something outlandish yet familiar.
