about
‘Sympathy is a knife’ is a show about loss, about home and the body. Everything has changed but it still feels the same, the societal expectations. When I’m there, I want to leave. There’s a silent but visceral anger, the guilt is perhaps gone but its decades of sadness. Waiting around, seeing how much you can tolerate.
Artist Bio
Grace McMurray is an artist based in Belfast and Rathfriland in County Down. They graduated with a BA in Fine Art sculpture at Wimbledon College of Art London in 2008. Recent projects include The Revolution is Soft at Katie Lindsay Gallery (2023) and NGXX at Naughton Gallery Belfast (2022). They won the Arts Club Award at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2019). Grace is a member of Array Collective who won the Turner Prize 2021.
Grace McMurray uses drawing, patchwork, knitting, weaving and kintsugi to subvert function and process personal narratives. They attempt to reconstruct a sense of self, the psychogeography of the body, considering loss, isolation, dysmorphia, shame and relationships.
