Although her subject matter is of a very different nature to mine I am inspired by the breaking of the perceived boundaries of the &#8216;canvas&#8217;. This is resonant of breaking the third wall in theatre. If a work breaks the boundary between the paper\/canvas and the gallery wall, does that encourage the audience to think about the relationship between the image and the outside world? In the case of the images that I make, could breaking this relationship between image and environment enhance the connection between the audience and the other than human world around them?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8050-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1540\" class=\"size-full wp-image-514\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8050-scaled.jpg?w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8050-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C180 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8050-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C616 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8050-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C462 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8050-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C924 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8050-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1232 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8048.jpg?resize=1702%2C1164\" class=\"size-full wp-image-513\" width=\"1702\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8048.jpg?w=1702 1702w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8048.jpg?resize=300%2C205 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8048.jpg?resize=1024%2C700 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8048.jpg?resize=768%2C525 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theheuch.co.uk\/Kirsty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img_8048.jpg?resize=1536%2C1050 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c<strong>France-Lise McGurn<\/strong> is a Glasgow-based artist who predominantly works with painting to create layered installations that incorporate the gallery walls, floors and ceilings.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Working intuitively rather than through direct appropriation, McGurn uses swift brushstrokes and repeated marks to create loose associations about place and relationships, inviting viewers to conjure their own narratives.
