"Cinematheque Ontario's primary projectionist, Kathryn MacKay is also an accomplished painter, and her two professions go hand in hand. MacKay occassionally has additional duties as a programmer for the Cinematheque's experimental Free Screening Series, and there's a similar sensibility-fondness for the kinds of innovations made by American filmmaker Stan Brakhage, for example- in her meticulously created works. MacKay fashions collages, frequently on plywood, building up and scraping down layers of paint and glaze, and interspersing them with images and texts (everything from ticket stubs to maps to vintage magazine clippings). The process is simultaniously archaelogical and architectural; MacKay lays out the sites of disovery herself, slowly excavating or developing them as she sees fit." - David Balzer in Toronto Life, April 2008
