About
Molly McCall
LIFE AND WORK
My work explores memory as a living material—
how it gathers, fades, and reshapes itself over time.
Working fluidly between photography, painting, drawing, and collage,
I return often to paper, color, and fragments drawn from the natural world.
Clouds, water, botanicals, and shifting fields of color
become quiet vessels for atmosphere and recollection.
With over twenty years in textile and fashion design,
I bring a sensitivity to color, tactility, repetition, and construction.
The work unfolds through layered processes—handmade fragments, photographic traces,
and material histories—where meaning emerges slowly, through accumulation and subtle variation.
My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at:
Blue Print Gallery (TX),
Klompching Gallery (NY),
Kneedler-Fauchère (SF)
Houston Center for Photography (TX),
Griffin Museum of Photography (MA),
Ogden Museum of Southern Art (LA),
and the Barcelona Foto Biennale (Spain),
and has appeared in publications including Architectural Digest.
I live and work in Carmel Valley, California.
