Sticky carpets, fleeting glances and lost shoes.

Nancy Harper and Kitty L M Mckay welcomes you to a time where the night is still young and full of possibility.

Through warmth, colour and tenderness, Nancy’s practice elevates the feminine and queer aspects of her life. These paintings depict the fleeting memories from parties and clubs, translating the energy of dancing and movement through their vibrancy and composition.

Inspired by blurry club photography from the 80s & 90s, Mckay explores a time when these venues were shiny and new, not the outdated shells which remain . From the only night club in a small rural town, to the iconic party boat docked on the river Tyne, she uses Plasticine’s endless mouldability to conjure a sense of fluidity and temporality.
