As a figurative painter, Scally expresses the awkwardness of the human form. Her figures are uncomfortable in their skins, in their environments, and seem vulnerable to the spaces and symbols that surround them. Often the individuals in her work are surrounded by, or incorporated with, animal forms; these forms remind us of the animal, biological nature of our human selves. Often these animals are tied, leashed, or suspended, suggesting elements in our own make-ups, and issues in our own psyches, to which we are inescapably bound.
