Mary Theresa Keown has for years, experimented with collage techniques in painting. This process invites different motivations for editing, composition and surface treatment. Using the analogy of cinematic production - The Cutting Rooms II situates her recent work in five rooms: The Mimetic room, The Diptych room, The Narrative room, The Liquin room and the Post-Mortem room. The sequence of Keown's work begins with post-production methods and then examines diverse processes and production techniques ending with a summation of the state of painting, it's possibilities and limitations.
