Residency period 10/5/25 - 10/6/25
McNulty's paintings and prints delve into hidden histories and the nature of memory—both personal and collective. She is particularly interested in how personal and public histories intersect and how stories can be embedded in physical objects. She is curious about the traces and meanings left behind by objects and places. Her creative process begins with both digital and analogue photography, developing the work using intuition to guide her decisions.
