"Liz McCarthy works through a process of submerging herself in naturally occurring landscapes in attempt to alter and document her own durational experience. Whether it be a migration to central Wisconsin or a walk in an abandoned overgrown lot in the middle of the city, she explores places where the environment looses ridged boundaries of space and the limitation of formal time. She uses photography to document these environments, and then in the studio, reinterprets the images through the building of corresponding material structures. McCarthy considers most of these structures to be alternative calendars and new representational frames for experience."

"The perception of time and space is fluid, one moment bleeds into the next. In the physical world we create more clear boundaries with objects, barriers, and frames to more clearly define and navigate our experience. In 'Partitions' Nora Nieves and Liz McCarthy both document environments by making structures that tentatively define the way in which they experience particular spaces."
