In this conversation where the artist frees himself from judgement, restraints and opinions of others and allows himself a vantage point where intuition, instinct and feeling become his guide and creativity is allowed to run free then we may find that our true nature will surface and express its full self.

The mystery involved within abstraction enables me to get lost and at the same time search for meaning. It’s these little bits and pieces we find in ourselves that reveal who we actually are. I want the viewer to experience this process of symbolic self involvement, in which their interpretation reflects their own life experiences.

My utmost goal is freedom, for without freedom the child within cannot play.My works are visual memories that dance between abstraction and reality to evoke questions rather than answers.

 

THE COMPREHENSIVE MCCAW PERSPECTIVE IS EVIDENT WHEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE WORK FLOWS FROM THREE INDIVIDUALS, SPANNING TWO GENERATIONS, WITH SIXTY YEARS OF COMBINED, CONSISTENT CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND RECOGNITION.

THE WILLINGNESS TO PUSH BOUNDARIES AND IDEAS IS CULTIVATED BY WORKING IN A SHARED ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE IS OVERLAP (THOUGH NOT DUPLICATION) IN THEORY, PHILOSOPHY AND INTENTION. RARELY DO YOU FIND A FATHER AND HIS TWO SONS WORKING UNDER A SINGLE ROOF, IN A DYNAMIC ATMOSPHERE WHERE CURIOSITY, OPEN MINDEDNESS, AND TRADITIONAL WISDOM CO-MINGLE WITH EXPERIMENTATION, INNOVATION AND CHANGE. IN THIS RARE WORKING ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS A NATURAL ALCHEMY THAT IS BORN BETWEEN A FATHER AND HIS SONS, IN WHICH EACH CONTRIBUTES TO THE OTHERS CREATIVE OBJECTIVE, AND YET EACH (STILL) RETAINS HIS INDIVIDUAL ARTISTIC IDENTITY.

THE MCCAW OBJECTIVE IS TO (COLLECTIVELY AND INDIVIDUALLY) EXAMINE, CONTEMPLATE AND DIRECT A FRESH LOOK AT CONTEMPORARY ISSUES SUCH AS: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART AND REALITY, MEMORY AND FANTASY, SYMBOLS AND ANTHROPOLOGY, EXISTENTIAL IDEAS AND HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY. WITHIN THE WALLS OF A STATIC ENVIRONMENT (THE STUDIO) A DYNAMIC AND CONSTANTLY EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTISTS, MATERIALS, IDEAS, AND TECHNIQUE IS EVOLVING AS EACH EXPRESSES AND EXPLORES THE ENDLESS REALM OF POSSIBILITIES.
