about > Made To Measure
...Caroline McCarthy's sad-sack Christmas tree decorated with plastic bottles, bags and other detritus is perfect for December. The garland is a string of drinking straws, one end inserted into the next, which also runs along the walls and floor of the gallery. If you've overdone it on the holiday cheer, you'll relate to the dizzying footage of camera-eye spin through the artist's studio.
