Since the mid-eighties, McBride\u0026rsquo;s work has focused on inconspicuous and seemingly unimportant elements in the contemporary urban landscape, which she takes out of context by playing with their scale, their materials and their connections to their surroundings. She reinterprets parking lot structures, grandstands, conduits, HVAC units, water towers and awnings, and gives them a metaphoric character.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMcBride uses materials ranging from rattan to Murano glass, Carrara marble, bronze and canvas, in an effort to illustrate the contradictions between mass production and craftsmanship, between high and low culture.

Sinds het midden van de jaren tachtig focust het werk van McBride op onverdachte en schijnbaar onbelangrijke elementen van het hedendaagse stedelijke landschap. Ze neemt die uit hun context door te spelen met hun schaal, hun materiaal en hun connectie met hun omgeving. Zo herinterpreteert ze parkings, tribunes, kanalen, verluchtingssystemen, watertorens en luifels, en geeft ze een metaforisch karakter.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMcBride gebruikt uiteenlopende materialen zoals rotan en Muranoglas, Carrara-marmer, brons en canvas, in een poging om de tegenstellingen te illustreren tussen massaproductie en vakmanschap, tussen hoge en lage cultuur.
