Lives and works in Sydney
Mac Mansfield’s practice within painting focuses mostly on the use of colour and gesture to build paths within a composition. Working them together and then pulling them back with layers of frenetic mark making, creating forms that act like a kind of furniture within the picture plane.
Mac has an affinity for the line ‘and various ways to tie rope’ that Lou Reed eventually removed from the song Wild Child, feeling that if recontextualised this phrase could express the poetics of this process.
