Excerpt from press release:

Morphology is the study of the form or shape of an organism, but also suggests the idea of one thing morphing into another. In evolutionary terms morphological development throws up unexpected parallels and confluences. For the artist, this acts as a mirror to the act of painting. From the simple to the complex, rational to the rococo, this act of transformation in formal terms results in expanding multiplicities of form, and thereby of content.

The works connect and reconnect through colour and form. An almost Klein blue bleeds into several paintings, serving in one as a barely believable sky, reappearing as the electric veins of a biomorphic structure in another.

MacDonald's sculptures often explore forms that are closely allied – the series 'Resemblance' consists of four hanging, baroquely ornamented spheres, whose titles reveal very different sources - a morel mushroom - a hanging basket of summer flowers - a white blood cell - a shower puff.
