18th - 21st August
Juliet MacDonald will invert the image of a garden shed by drawing imagined gardens (in negative) on the shed's outside surface. Created in full perspective, these images will pull the viewer into an alternative space including plants, animals and water features. For MacDonald drawing provides a means of projection, allowing the ordering, planning and imagining of other worlds.
Juliet MacDonald is an artist based in Leeds. Her recently completed PhD is an investigation into drawing, conducted through her own practice. The primary focus of the research is the figurative process of drawing as a means of differentiating, delineating and marking experience.
Much of her work seeks to question the opposition between notions of nature and culture. In 2006 she spent the summer creating a three dimensional, whole room drawing, investigating the Garden of Eden as a narrative of human separation from nature and as a place of devoured knowledge.
