Artistic Style and Process
Chloe McCarrick is recognised for her use of circular cyanotypes, which have become a signature aspect of her work, alongside square and rectangular forms. McCarrick has expressed in interviews that she uses circular shapes to represent her interests in the natural world, anatomy, science, and the concept of interconnected life cycles. In her cyanotype process, McCarrick combines traditional techniques with contemporary methods, including large-scale negative printing and hand-cut collage. Her method starts with a base of handmade paper or porcelain, building up layers with chemically treated metals, papercuts, and metallic leaf elements such as zinc, copper, or gold. This approach enables her to create artworks with varied textures and complex layers.[7][8][9][10]
Themes
The themes in Chloe McCarrick's artwork revolve around historical narratives, with an emphasis on notable women who were trailblazers in their fields. Her works reference figures such as Mary Shelley, Marie Curie, and Amelia Earhart, integrating their stories and achievements into her art. Her thematic choices reflect a focus on blending art with historical storytelling.[9][11]
