Ellie MacGarry’s work explores fleeting and intimate moments involving the body and its everyday transformations. They most often feature tight crops of skin, chest, back or hair, peeling away the garments and layers that we so often use to hide our private selves. The act of undressing is a reoccurring motif throughout MacGarry’s paintings: buttons, shirts and ribbons come undone, unravelling parts of the body that are usually kept private or concealed.
