    MEDRIE MACPHEEFLUTTERoil on woodsigned, titled and dated 2012 on the reverse, unframed 33 ins x 36 ins; 83.8 cms x 91.4 cms Provenance:Private Collection, TorontoLiterature:Laurence, "Robin, Medrie MacPhee, An Interview." Canadian Art Summer 1999, pages 46-49 Note:"What I love in painting [is] that area of play where you are faced with the unknowable and the unidentifiable. Things are not what they seem."A landing parachute? A billowing sheet? Shards of glass? One never quite knows how to identify the subject matter in Medrie MacPhee's paintings, yet the wildly discordant shapes are somehow familiar. As if seen through a kaleidoscope, shapes collide, light and shadow fall in unexpected places, and lines cut random, geometric subdivisions within the picture plane. There is a sense of halted chaos in many of MacPhee's recent works, as if she has painted snapshots of falling debris resulting from an unknown but decidedly destructive force. Viewers may recognize parts of MacPhee's subjects but not the whole, and that is precisely why paintings such as Flutter (2012) are so compelling. MacPhee has been the recipient of many prestigious awards and grants from institutions such as the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Canada Council. Her works are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York); the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto); the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa); and the Musee d'Art Contemporain (Montreal) to name a few. MacPhee currently lives in New York.
