Cameron McPherson’s work is an abstract investigation of agency, location, context and space. The artist-as-agent manipulates his environment to evoke a dialogue between objectivity and subjectivity, illumination and concealment, control and chaos. Whether it is by introducing an unnatural material in a natural space, like industrial-grade plastic wrap in the woods, or deconstructing intimate space, like his studio, McPherson’s work enacts his reaction to the boundaries of space. It is his obsession with material memory that guides his work—the cuts, stains, and physical arrangement that preserves origins, experience, and history. McPherson’s art making examines the impact of grand gestures and the power of subtle gestures to invite viewers, sometimes against their will, to participate in a visceral spatial experience.
