Against Architecture
In the Against Architecture series McKeever combines oil and acrylic paint with analogue photographs and canvas with wood, creating cohesive forms through these contrasting elements. The series marks McKeever's continued exploration into juxtaposing the mediums of photography and painting to find a harmony between the two.

…and the sky dreamt it was the sea
…and the sky dreamt it was the sea is an on-going series that plays with perception: false horizon lines, created with paint, turn black and white photographs of the sky upside-down to mimic the ocean’s waves.

Eagduru
The title of this series, Eagduru, comes from the old English word for window, which literally translates to “eye-door.” McKeever joins photographs of light pouring through windows with painted elements, rendering the photographs abstract with extreme close-ups and precise cropping.
