The paintings of Anne-Catherine Phillips shown here display an original, inventive choice of subject matter and she has painted some extremely memorable iimages. "Books on Heads" captures the cultural practice of "deportment" and the "finishing school"...the line of figures receding in an enigmatic green space. She captures special moments such as the excitement of family celebrations or trying on a hat in front of a mirror. Yet she also illuminates the everyday: whether it be a barren landscape of sand dunes or someone making the beds.
