Her forms and figures are not symbols of the unconscious but rather stripped down, intensified visual facts firmly based in sensation. The viewer stands before the figure and feels the posture and movement of it, becoming with the artist a ‘vessel to embrace raw energy’ rather than a thinking subject. Maguire’s works are devoid of the old paradigm of fantasy and surrealism but offer ‘extra realism’, penetrating the present through the use of sensation-inducing textures and gestures which are timeless archetypes.
