"Even though all of McPhee's artistic practice "is about a place," as she admits, these considerations elevate its significance to a global level. Indeed, places and their critical realities intermingle in her work, but the ripples created by the latter extend beyond any particular geographical context. Emphasizing that truths are relative, uncertain, and endure in non-fixed scenarios, McPhee's art concretizes what Glissant calls "trembling thinking": (...) 'The world trembles and our thinking must adapt to this trembling. We must try to follow these tremors and perhaps we will discover more truths than we do today.'" - Silvia Perea, 'CHRISTINA MCPHEE : TERREMOTO" , LUMArt, winter 2024
