Entering Maureen McCabe's magical and witty world is akin to going down the proverbial rabbit hole. You adjust your sense of scale and free yourself for a leap into a wonderland of profound mystery.

By using one-of-a-kind materials as well as original collectibles, McCabe creates unique assemblages with impeccable craftsmanship. In much the same fashion as medieval reliquaries with their bits of bone, blood, and hair, her art gathers fragments of experience around a central theme, interconnecting both story and meaning. She is a sorceress whose sleight of hand creates a private cosmos where, for a moment, magic is made visible to all.

American by birth, she preserves the imagination of her Gaelic homeland. Her work, narrative and small in scale, is brimming with the peculiar mix of bizarre and simple truths found within the folk tales of her ancestry.
