PAINTING
Mulholland’s paintings are a balancing act of opposing forces- additive and subtractive, yielding to chance and control, dark and light, negative and positive, solid and gaseous, sculpture and painting. Combining these polarities plays with the fluidity of material states and time. Her painting process references the alchemy and excavation found in atmospheric and geological events.
