She is a British sculptor who spends significant time in the medium of feathers. Her work tries different things with the double thoughts of magnificence and disgust, malice and quietness, and the recognizable yet supernatural. Her utilization of pigeon feathers takes a byproduct of the 'rats with wings' and raises them to the status of craftsmanship. By re-outlining the item, putting it outside of any context, it produces a sort of 'field of fascination' around it, the viewer is left both enticed and distanced, savoring the exhibition but mindful of something troubling, something 'other'. A lot of MccGwire's training references Freud's 'Unheimliche' (the uncanny, or in a real sense, the 'unhomely'), the possibility of a spot where the familiar can some way energize dread. It also grasps masterful ideas of the Abject. In this manner the artist makes a move from a world wherein objects sit in their ordinary spot and permits another perspective, uncovering the viewer, in the most instinctive path conceivable, to the facts that prowl behind the familiar and to the truth of what it is to be human – a severe yet additionally lovely awareness of the appalling and the mournful, dread and disgust.
