Paintings from the nineties
Casa Milagro
At the Border
McCormack's
paintings are beautiful because they strive for
a
kind of material poetic statement possible only in painting.
Not
that they 'say' anything, rather they materialize a process
of
creative give-and-take that perhaps cannot be uttered
but
only shown.
San
Francisco Chronicle, 20 February 1994, Kenneth Baker
Breathe
McCormack's
esoteric territories constitute profiled matter
skimming
over pictorial simulation. On the grand and
medium
scale, her extraordinary vocabulary winds up
extremely
dramatic, powerful and beautiful at once.
