Carali McCall – an artist whose practice is focused on performance and drawing, yet spans sculpture, photography, film, sound and writing. Exploring physicality and the role of the body, she is interested in thresholds and working with the contents of inner intentions and drive; artworks have been made by either carving through the landscape while running, drawing a continuous line with graphite on paper, or holding a bit of the landscape (a rock) as an act of endurance and to address the weight of things. Through movement and stillness, materials are used to better understand the body in landscape and question the role of an artist today.
