May’s work represents feelings, expressions and representations of reality. There is the technical aspect, the process, the materiality and the decisions she makes, but there is also the alchemy of the ineffable informing the work. May’s process is free form; making a move, looking, erasing, responding to the implications of each decision, the inventory of tools and endless options, bursts of activity, before the picture tells her when to stop.
