Details
Cavanagh was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her early life was pitched on a growing awareness of the prevailing political instability, an overbearing patriarchal society and the dangers of state sanctioned brutality and censorship.
Cavanagh read Social Sciences at the University of Belgrano, emigrated to California and later to the UK. She is a Fine Art graduate from K.I.A.D, University of Kent. Since 2010 she’s worked and resided in New York City.
Interested in the pairing of form and message, and formal variations on a theme, I sustain a figurative focus, in reaction to current and historical narratives, including my own. Recent global events have led me to considerations of mortality and loss of innocence in cross generational stories, the usefulness of art’s centuries old regard of myth, foundational stereotypes and the mundane occurrence of violence. I often work in series, creating pictorial storylines with some urgency to exhaust the subject and form to the point of understanding or unburdening myself of it. The result is an annotation of feelings underscoring a dramatic approach to form and message.
