ABBEY McCULLOCH FEATURED IN ART ALMANAC
Abbey McCulloch's recent exhibition 'Zero' is featured in the current edition of Art Almanac:
'Abbey McCulloch’s portraits articulately render the complexities of human emotion. ‘Zero’ is a series of new paintings of opaque pigments and translucent washes, reflecting on the idea that stillness is an illusive and yet essential state of being. Through her portraiture, McCulloch explores the inherent battle in what she calls ‘silencing our self-chatter’.'
