Artist - John McGarity
Statement
The work that I’ve been producing recently is based on a constructed, provincial folklore. I have created a small village (Mallet Creek) that acts as a microcosm of cultural norms as well as oddities. My approach is one of curiosity for the “common threads” of our allegories. Localized perspectives and shared history create specific ritual, dogma, and ethos within communities and tell the story of ones journey to sacred knowledge and spiritual redemption. Over the years, I have developed a system of symbols and visual cues that are defining a particular language predicated on collective experience. Much of the work has been produced as paintings, but over time, the concept has expanded to further exploration and experimentation beyond paint and into video and installation elements. I collect, process, and make work based on research done at a local level.
