Incurable Disorder by Elizabeth McGrath

Incurable Disorder is Elizabeth McGrath’s second full-length monograph, including works from 2005 to 2012. One of the leading women of the pop surrealism movement, McGrath has an uncanny knack for creating dark, edgy, fantastical works layered with beauty, angst + significance. Influenced by the relationship between the natural world + the detritus of consumer culture, she sculpts, paints + builds endearing, often tragic, creatures from a wide range of materials including ceramic, cloth, paint, paper, gold leaf, rhinestones, shells + found objects. Self-taught, Elizabeth McGrath has exhibited extensively in galleries + museums in the US + Europe. Her first book, Everything That Creeps, was released in 2005 by Last Gasp + La Luz de Jesus Press. McGrath lives in Downtown Los Angeles with her husband, the artist Morgan Slade, their daughter Sadie Valentine Slade + hairless Chihuahuas Blue + King Tut. Hardcover. 200 pages.
