  • "Time is an important element in all of these new works. Again, we have a future of climate catastrophe represented, alongside the recent past of lockdowns and Magill’s own history in painting, together with her connection with the Irish countryside. The layers of depiction only serve to stretch this temporal aspect further."

    - Andrew Hunt in "Elizabeth Magill"

  • "The paintings are a “playground” for the imagination, both in a traumatic and an optimistic sense. Although this series shows a post-natural world, we still have chaos. And if nature represents order beyond human regimes of clock time, and if art can sometimes attempt to display a distinct moral order, Magill’s work embraces chaos as inevitable. The ultimate paradox is the reality of an ever-decreasing likelihood of our survival."

    - Andrew Hunt in "Elizabeth Magill"
