Nick McAuley's paintings are created ‘accidentally’ in his joinery and cabinetmaking workshop. They are the shadows of years of intricate and meticulous measuring and cutting – the seemingly random lines given a new narrative of their own by McAuley’s meditative use of colour, mapping his own thoughts and experiences onto the machine-made marks.
These paintings form the basis of Nick's "Afterlife in Episodes" solo exhibition at Atom in March 2023.
