High End Memory

China Heights presents High End Memory, an upcoming exhibition of new works by Creed McTaggart. The scene is 3am in his garage, a threshold space between night and morning. Surfboards line the walls in deliberate arrangement. His two cats bear witness. Half finished projects accumulate around him, a loose and uncontainable archive of memory. Born in Western Australia, grandson of an artist, McTaggart's practice is guided less by formal discipline than by instinct. A professional surfer and musician, he approaches painting as necessity rather than career. The work is not constructed but extracted, drawn from moments, encounters, and the residue of lived experience. High End Memory occupies the interval between recollection and invention. These are fragments, half formed, overexposed, softened at the edges. Faces drift in and out of focus, not portraits but impressions.
