"Samantha McCurdy // Substituting traditional canvas for thin, stretchable spandex, the works call to mind form-fitting attributes to a human figure. Each painting creates moments of tension through its invitation to imagine what lies hidden underneath the delicate surface and through its suggestive physical orientation, all the while maintaining its own unwavering agency."
