She works in video, painting, drawing, photography, and performance.\u00a0Born in Los Angeles in 1954, at seven she moved with her family moved to a small town on the Great Plains. Suffering from recurrent nightmares as a young adult, she discovered that drawing abstract shapes in successive waves ameliorated the effects of terror. Throughout her life, she has engaged with an open-work approach to non-narrative performance, using abstraction as a critical and sensuous method around violence, traumatic memory, environmental fragility, and regeneration. She operates from a principle of built form: each linear threshold is a ramification of its immediate predecessor. Her work opens up to possible forms of life in a culture of systemic dematerialization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">McPhee studied drawing and painting at Scripps College, Claremont; Kansas City Art Institute (BFA); and Boston University (MFA), where she was a student of Philip Guston.
