Michael McCafferty
Honours
My work is a form of extended diary keeping. I document my life in a variety of ways and then rework the narrative. My artwork usually depicts private, interior and architectural spaces, as well as the family, friends and events that were once within them. Working from a foundation in drawing I use a range of techniques to translate original source material into new and evolving versions. The process of adaptation is one of intuitive response but bound by a set of self-imposed rules. The editing process can repeat indefinitely until the picture ‘feels’ right. The results usually combine elements of drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture but are unified by the same set of formal rules based around colour, materials and scale.
