About this artwork
"Soft Interference" is painted on handwoven linen from around 1910. I love working on old fabric like this — it already carries time, traces, and tiny irregularities that you can’t fake. The surface responds in unpredictable ways, and instead of fighting it, I let it guide me.
I didn’t approach this piece with a clear image in mind. It grew through small decisions: adding a line, interrupting a shape, softening one area and pushing contrast in another.… The linen absorbs the paint unevenly, creating these gentle disruptions in the flow — little “interferences” that became the core idea of the work.
For me, this painting is about letting the process stay open. It’s a balance between control and letting go, and allowing something to emerge that I couldn’t have planned.

“Art must hold space for what cannot be spoken.”
Manja McCade is a contemporary artist whose practice moves between abstraction, memory, and social awareness. Rooted in painting yet open to cross-disciplinary dialogue, her work explores presence, loss, and the pursuit of freedom. McCade’s process is intuitive and physical — color, gesture, and rhythm become her language.
Alongside her studio practice, she develops projects that question silence and visibility in political and emotional contexts, including Belmarsh Live, her long-term engagement with freedom of speech and justice.
Based in Dessau, Germany, McCade creates works that invite reflection — art as a space for truth, empathy, and transformation.
