McCain McMurray: From Architectural Drawings to Geometric Paintings

August 23, 2015 Touchstone Gallery
McCain McMurray

McCain McMurray

Malleability is a relative term depending on the material a person is trying to shape.  For architects, wood, metal, masonry and glass are molded as necessary to build a structure inside and out.  McCain McMurray worked with these materials during his 37-year career as an architect designing a variety of residential and commercial projects. It’s no surprise that he was drawn to architecture, because he started constructing things when he was a child growing up in North Carolina. Equipped with tools and wood scraps, he built many a tree house.
