Caroline McGregor

Caroline McGregor has a Master of Fine Art from the National Art School, Sydney, and exhibits in Sydney and Paris. Based in the Hinterlands of Byron Bay, McGregor’s sculptures are informed by her long-spanning drawing practice, as black steel echoes charcoal in its ability to both ribbon around space and contain it. McGregor has been awarded the John Valance Prize for Sculpture and has undertaken a number of artist residencies, both nationally and internationally. McGregor is also represented in private collections across Australia.

Embodying invitation, the artist’s work seeks to create the sensation of doorways and thresholds so that light, air, and others may feel welcome to move through the negatives of framed shape. The allure of passageways has been a constant in McGregor’s practice, whose large-scale sculptures border on the architectural.
