{"product_id":"wisp-sue-mackay","title":"Wisp | Sue Mackay","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"My practice explores the intersection of control and spontaneity where materials drive process. Working with paint, translucent substrates, and surface treatments, I allow process and material behavior to guide each composition. Through layering, removal, and reapplication, the work becomes a negotiation between intention and chance, producing tensions between structure and fluidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eInformed by my research into perception, materiality, and light, the work investigates how transparency, opacity, and illumination can impact seeing. I work on and through layered surfaces and blur distinctions between surface and depth, gesture and atmosphere, creating shifting visual fields that resist singular interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLight functions as both material and conceptual agent, activating the work and emphasizing its temporal and perceptual variability. These paintings invite a sensory engagement, where viewers encounter forms that oscillate between the familiar and the indeterminate, foregrounding experience over representation.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInstagram: @sue_j_mackay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Career Launcher Exhibition | OCADU 2026","offers":[{"title":"24 X 24 in.","offer_id":48073029124354,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/5944\/files\/Sue_Mackay_Wisp_web.jpg?v=1783077809","url":"https:\/\/bau-xi.com\/en-us\/products\/wisp-sue-mackay","provider":"Bau-Xi Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
