Fiona MacDonald makes alternate realities, scenarios or details - paintings and sculptures that act together –which are constructed from various sculptural materials, found objects, living and natural organisms. Her work borrows from sci-fi, Romanticism and an overactive imagination as well as the ongoing experience and observation of nature. There is a constant exploratory roving between the act of making, dealing with the nature of the material, and the seductive gazing at or being in nature. She shows a way through the philosophical and aesthetic fracture between nature and our cognitive experience of it.
