After Nature series
McMahon’s work is […] less about formal abstraction and more about evoking primary structures and patterns found in nature. The compositions appear like microcosms of the natural world – rhythmic waves and traces of aquatic forms from the watery ecology of the Dudley rock shelves. Swampy mudflats, sand dunes and gnarled coastal scrub – all this is translated into ripples, patterns and textures in McMahon’s work.
