Investigating ideas of connectivity, sentimentality and the ephemeral, coupled with an innovative exploration of materials, McCambly’s work invites pause.  Through a process rooted in precision and repetition, the work aims to encourage an intimate experience with beauty and nuance within the language of reductive formalism.
